Rooted in a dialogue between abstraction and representation, my practice examines how spaces influence perception and transformation. Each piece serves as an invitation to pause, reflect, and consider the complex relationships that shape our experiences.

I explore the relationship between humans, spaces, and otherness, focus on how environments shape identity, foster connection, and and its bond with humans. By engaging transitional and liminal spaces, my practice challenges traditional notions of belonging and reveals the fluid boundaries between self and others. These spaces are dynamic and layered, offering a reflection of both personal and collective transformations.

In my work, I focus on photography and mixed media to engage with these themes, creating visual constructs that emphasize the psychological and emotional resonance of environments. I use sensory and atmosphere to create “ambient intimacies” spaces that evoke both connection and distance. Incorporating non-human elements such as abandoned sites, natural landscapes, and digital realms, I expand the narrative beyond humans and emphasize our entanglement with the ecosystems we inhabit.

Rooted in a dialogue between abstraction and representation, my practice examines how spaces influence perception and transformation. Each piece serves as an invitation to pause, reflect, and consider the complex relationships that shape our experiences within interconnected environments.
