Artist Statement

 

Through my work, I delve into the intricate interplay between our perceived ability to shape our environment and the immutable reality that certain aspects of existence transcend our control.

 

I initiate a dialogue with viewers by capturing the aftermath of human intervention, where remnants persist in gutters, cracks, and crawl spaces, assuming new roles as they relinquish their original functions.

 

My photographs oscillate between the desire to exert control and the acceptance of reality. I am intrigued by the relationship between uncertainty, comprehension, and our relentless pursuit of mastery over our surroundings.

 

The agitation in my mind and the unanswered questions fuel my artistic endeavors, manifesting in series filled with chaos, impressions, and questions.
