Statement

My work moves between image, object, installation, and moving media. I am interested in how perception is shaped by technology, memory, architecture, and the emotional residue carried by places and materials. Across different forms, the work often explores moments where the physical world feels unstable, mediated, or psychologically charged. Rather than treating photography, installation, painting, and digital processes as separate categories, I use each medium as a way of testing how images are constructed, how environments are felt, and how meaning shifts when the familiar becomes uncertain.
