“Pay Here focuses on investigatung gender politics with an emphasis on female identity and sexuality, aiming for a reflexion on gender roles issues, versatility of the/my female identity, gender’s power/dominance relations through my experience, while making use of prejudices, preconceptions, clichés etc. and break them down at the same time.
Audience & subject, exhibituonist & voyeur, sadist & masochist are the most crucial polarisa+ons that can be defined in the male – female relationship axis. The tension created by this power relation between the genders and my feelings of horror, disgust, envy, hunger, absurdity related to gender politics are the initial motivations of this series.”

''Besides mostly producing photography series, I make use of artist’s books, text-based works and videos. My work focuses on gender identities & roles and socially constructed identities while attempting to shed light to some of the deepest drives, desires and fears of the human being through a subjective documentary approach. There is also an ongoing emphasis on the human body as the most common outward manifestation of the sexual, psychological, emotional and sociological identity. I have also travelled to different countries for the realisation of some of my works such as Ukraine, United Kingdom and France (Pay Here series, 2010 and Fight-Flight-Freeze series, 2013) and Thailand (Full Contact series, 2011).''
