About

My artistic endeavor is a journey through the intangible—the unseen spaces and quiet transitions that stitch together the fabric of life. With a focus on the fleeting aspects of existence, my work examines the liminal thresholds between absence and presence, the physical and the metaphysical, and the shifting constructs of social identity amidst constant change.

I embrace fluidity as a central theme, allowing for a dynamic approach that reflects the ever-evolving human condition. My research delves into the essence of passage—not just as a physical relocation but as a metaphorical movement through stages, conditions, and states of consciousness. The art I create seeks to visualize what lies unseen, engaging with themes of travel, constraint, and the nebulous boundaries of self-awareness.

The interplay of performance, space, and time in my work invites a participatory dialogue, one that is enacted through the body, live actions, and multimedia installations. Each medium is meticulously chosen for its symbolic resonance, serving as a vessel to convey the core metaphors of my artistic expression.

I approach creation with a philosophy of embracing the unknown, a bold assertion of the vitality of the present moment. This methodology extends beyond the canvas, reflecting a broader perspective on life itself. It is a celebration of the now, a conscious decision to dwell in the immediacy of experience rather than in the shadows of the past.

My work is an ongoing narrative of discovery, an unbinding of the illusions that tether us. It's an exploration of the transient beauty found in the unexpected and the power of the outsider perspective—ephemeral, delicate, yet profound. In this artistic space, I seek not to capture moments but to highlight the act of reaching toward them without attachment, embodying the art of perpetual presence.
