About Me

My artistic practice delves into the interplay between the body, animality, and ritual. Through photography, archival material, and visual interventions, I create works that explore the body as a site of memory, tension, and symbolic transformation.

I construct scenes that move between the documentary and the allegorical, guided by themes that resonate with me — such as nature as an active force, social frictions, and poetic visual spaces. My visual language shifts between the abstract and the painterly, the graphic and the condensed — always shaped by an open, associative structure that seeks to reveal what resists being spoken.
