Hello, my name is Meri. I am a light designer and artist, on this page you can see some traces of my work. I use light as my main means of expression. In my project-based collaborations with different artists, I like to adopt an open and conversational approach, often involving non-human actors in the process as well, such as water, wind, or smoke. I'm fascinated by the border areas between light and dark, what lies between them and what exists within them, dissolving familiar forms and reshaping them. 

​

In the performance context, my collaborators come from experimental performance art, music and dance. Informed by my artistic practice, my interest in methodological questions involving light has led me to contribute in research contexts as well.

I live in Brussels.

My pronouns are she/her.

​

Every situation has a potential to become a state of wonder, and I see wondering as a practice to connect with our surroundings, to acknowledge and give space to the existing, without forcing it to change.
