I make body language and self-legitimacy visible in my works, the first step of which is researching the concept of legitimation. During this self-legitimation, I create a dictionary by redefining the meanings that society imposes on me. Sometimes I make definitions of existing words and concepts. At other times I create words, definitions and imageries that are not in dictionaries but I wonder how they would be defined if they were. Everyone is trying to make sense of the world, and my part is to define my own.
