1990年生于爱沙尼亚。她的作品专注于个人和亲密主题。她对矛盾的人类体验感兴趣,同时认识到幸福和悲伤、生活的戏剧和喜剧。她经常使用自传元素来讲述故事,将它们与象征性和诗意的意象相结合,以将她的个人经历扩展到更广泛理解的层面。她的作品是隐喻性的、童话般的,并且依赖于超越图像的叙事。


Born in Estonia in 1990. Her works focuses on personal and intimate themes. She is interested in contradictory human experiences, simultaneously recognising happiness and sadness, the drama and comedy of life. She often uses autobiographic elements to tell stories, combining them with symbolic and poetic imagery in order to expand her personal experience to a more widely understood level. Her work is metaphorical, fairytale-like and relies on narrative beyond the image.
