#statement
Due to her engagement with different creative fields, Eva’s creative work is expressed in various formats, mediums and scales. Every project is a field of research that may lead to a final product
-or not.
Her work seeks to mobilize emotion alongside active thinking, which is why it often deals with actual issues: science, refugees, the environment, the pandemic, diversity. In contrast to this tangible reality, she explores the small, invisible, imperceptible, unacknowledged things that inhabit the imaginary and connect us through our vulnerable side: error, the escapist-inescapable dichotomy, trauma, weakness, desire.
The real in her work starts from the space, urban or natural, which takes shape in terms of topiography. The imaginary triggers the synthesis of situations that escape reality. Within the tangible space, scenes of a parallel reality take place, in a meeting of the tangible with the imaginary, of the real world with a hidden, mystical one.
