ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My creative process is grounded in observation, emotional sensitivity, and psychological inquiry. I draw

on lived experiences, intimate encounters, and reflective analysis to shape work that explores both

personal and collective motivations.

My practice revolves around recurring themes, including emotional instability, internal conflict,

spiritual resonance, non-normative lifestyles, and the evolving relationship between humans and

their environments. Through metaphor, irony, and symbol-laden imagery, I seek to expose latent

tensions embedded in the seemingly mundane.

Engaging with a range of media—including but not limited to 3D-printed forms, experimental

photography, video, and mixed media—I choose materials and processes in direct response to the

conceptual demands of each work. I aim to create work that resonates with the emotional and

philosophical core of contemporary life, inviting viewers to engage with the work through their own

perspectives, thereby enriching the shared experience.
