Artist Statement
My art practice encompasses photography, video, performance, writing, and expanded image forms. I regard images as complex agents that shape perception and understanding. I am drawn to images that appear recognizable yet unsettled, where the familiar gives way to uncertainty.
Recently, my practice has focused on post-photography and machine-mediated imagery. I investigate how emerging image systems and technologies challenge established notions of photographic truth. Although photography has traditionally been defined by its physical connection to the world, I question how this understanding shifts when images are generated through synthetic or computational means. I see this transformation as more than technological; it fundamentally alters the status, conditions, and ontology of the photographic image, shaping how images circulate within culture and affect our lives.
Writing and research are integral components of my studio practice. Theoretical inquiry frequently informs and shapes my work, yet I remain equally committed to intuitive, tactile, and sensory aspects of making. I conceive of the studio as a space where critical thought and poetic form converge, enabling the work to maintain intellectual depth while retaining emotional resonance.
In an era increasingly shaped by technological mediation, I aim to create work that fosters deeper reflection on images, their influence, and how they shape our relationship to the world.
