My multidisciplinary practice explores perception, memory and embodied experience through photography, installation and material experimentation. I am interested in how meaning is constructed through what we see, remember and feel, and in the shifting relationship between internal experience and external reality. Visual phenomena and sensory encounters often become starting points for examining perception as layered and continually shifting.
​
Photography functions in my work as both image and object. I am interested in its performative and sculptural potential, and in how photographic processes can move beyond representation through layering, fragmentation and reconstruction. I also consider the photographic frame as a physical and psychological space, which can feel unstable, alienating or restrictive. Within this space, images operate as structures that shift between clarity, disruption and instability over time.
​
Material processes are central to my practice. I often work with materials that carry a digital or synthetic quality, where colour, saturation and reduction are used to alter perception and affect how images are read. These shifts in visual information explore how meaning is formed through instability, and how images can be experienced as both physical and perceptual events.
As a neurodivergent artist, I am particularly interested in different ways of seeing, processing and relating to the world.
​
My work considers perception not as universal or fixed, but as embodied and variable, shaped by individual experience and functioning as an indicator of difference. Looking becomes an active and interpretative process.
Across my practice, I explore the tension between instability and the desire for stability within processes of perception and image-making. I am interested in how photographic and material processes remain in transition, where meaning is not fixed but shifts through repetition, change and reconstruction.
