Tikla is the Bulgarian name for the stones used for roofs in traditional construction in Leshten and other towns of the Rhodope Mountains. These roofs create spaces for biodiverse micro habitats that extend and connect to the greater natural environment.
Ghost of the Rhodopes
Ghost of the Rhodopes is inspired by both the told and untold stories of the Rhodope mountains.
Kóokay 1 & 2
Kookay in Mayan means firefly as well as the light that they emit. After the sighting of a couple of fireflies in Leshten, and once again experienced the curiosity and happiness that they gave me.
Tonal y Nahual (Evident & Ocult)

The connecting points where we all meet each other. Where we all revolve around changing from center to center, but we always keep the connections. In the end, we are all keystone species. It just depends on the perspective at the given moment.
Let’s all have a big party, where we all accept our existence as prey and predator; or maybe we shouldn’t accept these concepts that don’t allow much room for all that happens in the middle between these two?
A moment where we all eat together; digest, and are being digested while we talk about this dilemma that people have made for all of us. Let’s do it in an honorable way, in a way that everyone is included.
