Statement
My artistic vision explores who we are, our vulnerabilities and intimacy, how we connect with others, and how our surroundings shape us. I’m interested in how our experiences and conflicts affect our sense of self and how others see us. I also question the beliefs that define us, wondering if we truly understand what we want and are limited by stereotypes. I find inspiration in the places I’ve been, which makes me rethink my identity. My media are mainly photography and video art, through which I capture and convey these complex themes and emotions. Another critical aspect of my work is using words and sounds to add layers of meaning and interaction, shaping how we see and understand images.
