Working on daylight in relation to

Why daylight matters in my work

As a chronoartist and designer, I explore how daylight shapes our experience of time and our connection to our bodies. Through my practice, I invite people to become more aware of natural rhythms and to rethink how we organise our lives around time. I see daylight as a vital part of our well being.
