Born in Denmark 1976. Lives in Copenhagen.


Works in different media including photography, drawing, text and object. Sometimes objects, words and drawings are parts of a photograph, or text becomes drawing, and objects contain textual references.

A main theme in the work is the relationship between the human being and its cultural as well as natural surroundings, and through this, the human nature itself.

Questions of emotional existence and the human condition are being explored through a humorous and poetic language, in which well-known linguistic and visual images gain new life.
