From the series The Daily

The image of this woman can be perceived as a metaphor for everyday life. It reflects the balance we try to maintain each day — between what pressures and strains us and what gives us a sense of being alive.

In this work, weight and light exist side by side. There is what accumulates, and there is what sustains. The balance does not appear perfect — it is alive. This ability to hold equilibrium between tension and hope becomes a natural state of our lives.

The Daily is a series about ordinary, everyday life. About recurring thoughts and inner dialogues that shape behavior and mood and are present within one's inner state. What seems small and mundane remains part of how we perceive ourselves and the world.
In this series, the figures do not tell stories — they live. The jug appears as a metaphor for the space of thought: an inner volume that holds habitual reactions, words, and silence. It stands beside the body as a separate form, a quiet companion of the day. Through simple form and restrained monumentality, the series captures what happens every day — quietly, without explanation. There is no climax in these works, only duration. Only a day that continues
