ARTIST STATEMENT

Image making, for me, is an inquiry into what it means to be human. The need for connection. The weight of silence. The traces life leaves behind..

Images are not decoration. They are a way of engaging with what is often unspoken. The tension between what is shown and what is held back runs through the work, shaped by how light gathers or recedes and how a figure holds space.

In a world full of noise, the work turns toward what endures. Small traces where presence lingers, and meaning settles between solitude and togetherness.
