ARTIST STATEMENT
I chase the quiet resonance of a moment—the way light lingers on skin, the way absence shapes a room, the way the body holds both tension and release. My work is an ongoing pursuit of intimacy, of the in-between spaces where identity reveals itself in shadow and breath.
Photography, for me, is not about capturing, but about listening. It is a dialogue between the seen and the unseen, the subject and the frame, the viewer and the ghost of the image. Whether through portraiture, self-portraiture, or moving images, I seek to make the ephemeral tangible, to create photographs that do not just depict but feel.
My images lean into vulnerability. I want them to hold space for stillness, for complexity, for the quiet weight of being seen. The camera is both a mirror and a threshold—it allows us to step outside ourselves while returning us to something deeply familiar.
Through my practice, I am constantly searching: for light that tells stories, for composition that breathes, for the tension between presence and disappearance. The work is always about connection. The work is always about the human.
