In my works I explore the subjects of freedom of speech, self-restriction and restriction imposed by the state. My research spans across the themes of need of self-defining and self- expression through hiding identity via the street art. I’ve never practiced street art myself, however it has always been a tool of visual archeology — prosopography in the reality that surrounds me. I have always considered this type of art as an encrypted message of urban life, where my personal stories as well as events happening in society can be hidden.
