Growing up alongside the rapid expansion of the digital world, I’ve spent much of my life suspended between physical reality and virtual space. My formative years were shaped by screens—by endless scrolls, algorithmic feeds, and a sense of presence that felt both immediate and abstract. Over time, I began to sense how these digital habits shaped not just my attention, but my inner life and connection to others.
Through my work, I explore what feels increasingly lost: the
quiet, the spiritual, the tactile. I seek to rediscover and reframe reality—offering glimpses of a world that hums beneath the noise. Using light, photography, video, and sound, I create immersive environments that invite both confrontation and contemplation. My aim is to make space for moments of reflection, where viewers can reconnect with the more intuitive, poetic aspects of being.
