My work explores the invisible threads that shape our individual and collective experiences, especially the ways in which environments, systems, and ideologies influence how we see each other and ourselves.
In a world marked by fragmentation and polarization, I use my practice to reflect on our disconnection. I approach each project as a chance to investigate not only what is seen, but also what is hidden: the unspoken, the overlooked, the denied. I’m interested in the shared field we all participate in, our collective consciousness and how it both informs and is informed by our beliefs, behaviors, and structures of power.
My art is an attempt to make visible the forces that usually remain unseen. I am deeply invested in social issues and committed to confronting all forms of prejudice, be it racial, social, gender-based, or ideological.
For me, art is not just a tool for expression, but a medium for remembrance: a way of remembering that we are all connected, that our differences are often superficial, and that beneath it all, there is something shared and sacred.
