ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic practice centers on photography as a core medium through which I capture fleeting moments and translate emotional experiences. For me, photography is not merely a method of recording reality—it is a way of examining my inner landscape, questioning my identity, and giving form to feelings that are often difficult to articulate.
I am drawn to expanding the possibilities of the photographic image. By merging photography with printing techniques, textile manipulation, and material experimentation, I transform images from static surfaces into multidimensional experiences. This process allows the photograph to shift between softness and structure, intimacy and distance, ultimately reshaping the way viewers engage with it.
My work often begins with personal emotions and memories, but it extends beyond self-expression. Each piece becomes a site of dialogue—between myself and the image, and between the image and the audience. Through exploring themes such as memory, vulnerability, and identity, I aim to create visual experiences that resonate emotionally, inviting viewers to sense the subtle tensions between what is seen and what is felt.
