“During the summers of 2020 and 2021, Vis island provided shelter to my friends and I, offering some semblance of normality in a world becoming increasingly inhospitable. The underwater world became a place of play, joy and healing.

I am looking forward to having my work exhibited in SATURATION: the everyday transformed and seeing the exhibition which is unabashedly about the pleasures of seeing.”
