``Body often takes defensive attitude towards surrounding.  Body field is submissive to certain mappings, inscriptions or conditions arising from the environment - social, political, religious, space usurped by media and individual too. These media/spatial differences, in which the human body is situated, are seriously affecting the partition of subjective and objective body image. That's why I'm trying to locate matrixes that are used by progressive body image to direct relation of subject towards one's own body as an object of ambition or self supervision. Then I am applying those matrixes as an artistic practice.`
