Statement
“I am interested in the individual’s relationship with the environment, specifically with social, political structures, systems, and architectural spaces.
In my studio practice, I seek to materialize the essence of my physical and spiritual life experiences via the use of video, multimedia installations, photography and other mediums, searching for their inner symbolic and universal meanings.”
