Artist Statement
I am a mixed media visual artist working at the intersection of transformation, dispossession, and perception. I question how we see, interpret, and reconstruct the world within and around us when so much of it is fractured.
My work moves between presence and absence, visibility and attenuation. I am drawn to what is hidden, denied, or broken — and to the possibility of revealing, reframing, or reassembling those fragments into something newly resonant. Meaning often emerges not from clarity but from tension: between blindness and sight, memory and erasure, silence and expression.
I work with collage, ink, paint, found materials, and at times three-dimensional forms. I layer textures, veil images, and create interruptions in visual continuity to echo the disjointedness of lived experience. Collage becomes a way to redirect fragments of actuality into poetic compositions, where the texture of reality is transformed into layered meaning. My vivid palette is shaped by the place in which I work, carrying the atmosphere and emotional charge of my surroundings. In this process, strong emotions often arise in the in-between spaces, inhabiting the delicate thresholds between silence and expression.
The surfaces often bear signs of wear, concealment, and reparation — mirroring the emotional and physical terrain of displacement. My compositions evolve dynamically, guided by the resonance of the body and a constant process of revision, reflecting the impermanence and interconnection that define the world I inhabit.
Until recently I also worked as an eye surgeon, restoring vision in a literal sense. This experience continues to inform my understanding of sight — not merely as a biological function, but as a metaphor for how we grasp the world, how we lose it, and how we might learn to see anew.
