About

Through my work, I explore the connections that emerge through the act of looking and look at the nuances of visual engagement and its influence on our understanding of the world.

Statement

between abstract/ambiguous/obscure imagery and small glimpses of the world - playing with light and surfaces that render things visible or invisible

trapped in a pocket of detail - viewfinder edition

Through filters, masks and templates, the act of looking is “comprised” and we are forced to see a different view, a view that looks for the in between, underneath , the empty space around - the invisible connections one doesn’t see at first
