Work History

09.2023 - 01.2025

After graduating, I devoted myself to learning languages, developing myself in intellectual knowledge, and exploring countries (London, Berlin, Marseille, Paris, Nice, Cannes, Athens, Sarajevo). I spent a year getting to know new perspectives and gaining experiences that no lecture could give me. It helped me discover and recognize myself, and now it has laid the groundwork for my work on art and politics.
