About

My work grows from an ongoing attention to the experience of living. Rather than searching for certainty or fixed meanings, I use the process of making to give form to observations that continue to unfold over time. I am drawn to the subtle ways memory, perception, and experience continually shift and redefine one another. My work does not seek to offer conclusions; it simply shares the way I look.

Nature has profoundly influenced this way of looking. I see it as an interconnected system in constant transformation, where every element exists in relation to another and nothing remains fixed. This understanding informs both the conceptual foundation of my work and its physical language: layered paper compositions, translucent surfaces, photography, drawing, and three-dimensional forms that change with light, movement, and the viewer's position.

Places that hold personal significance recur throughout my work, allowing me to observe change in tangible ways. Through fragmentation and abstraction, images often appear isolated or independent while remaining connected to something beyond what is visible. Photography echoes this condition: every image reveals a portion of reality while leaving something outside the frame.

Ultimately, my work is an expression of how I look rather than what I know. Each piece becomes a space where I can linger with relationships between memory, perception, place, and time as they continually reshape one another. Through making, I give form to a way of looking that remains open, knowing that every observation is partial, every experience continues to change, and every fragment belongs to something larger than itself.
