ARTIST STATEMENT
In my art, I aim to capture the depth of human experience and make sense of our complex world through visual storytelling. Photography is my tool for engaging with the world and understanding my place within it.
I'm particularly drawn to taking pictures of people, focusing on both their physical selves and the places they inhabit. Whether someone is nude or dressed in their personal clothing, each aspect tells a story.
Through my photography, I examine the dynamics of relationships with people I meet briefly or those who are a part of my daily life. The places I visit and the cultures I encounter shape the themes of my work, adding layers of meaning to each image.
Rather than giving clear answers or moral lessons, I want my photos to raise questions and get myself and others talking about important issues.
While I take a thoughtful, planned approach to my digital projects, my analog photos capture the spontaneous moments of everyday life. It's a balance between careful thought and unexpected surprises, each contributing to the overall story I'm trying to tell.
