Bio
Bio
I am an architect, activist and interdisciplinary artist engaged in artistic research and cross-disciplinary collaborations. My work explores the ecological, socio-economic and cultural dimensions of urban wastelands and their ecosystems. Through activist interventions, educational initiatives and monumental artworks, I address questions of critical architecture, urbanism and the relationships between humans and more-than-human environments.
I am the winner of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2024 competition, a finalist for the New European Bauhaus Prize, and have participated in Ars Electronica, the Architecture Fund's Experiment Platform, the Venice Biennale, EIT Climate-KIC Hub, Tech Arts Incubator and the Creating Vilnius programme. I am a co-founder of the interdisciplinary art collective Micro-empathy, a member of the speculative architecture collective 3022, and part of the Bluma collective for biotope landscape urbanism.
