Artist Statement
My work explores themes of rootlessness, alienation, and belonging through documentary, moving image, sound, and installation. My practice is grounded in recording and documenting lived moments, often quiet and transitional experiences that accumulate over time. I continuously film, photograph, and collect fragments of daily life without a predetermined outcome, forming a personal archive shaped by movement, migration, and uncertainty.
Documentation is an intuitive and ongoing process for me. I often do not know what these images or sounds will become at the moment they are recorded. Meaning emerges later, sometimes months or years after, when I return to these materials and recontextualize them through editing, looping, or spatial installation. This temporal distance allows memory to shift and blur, transforming documentation into reflection.
Across my work, I am interested in how identity is shaped through displacement and how personal archives mediate experience. By resisting linear narrative and embracing fragmentation and repetition, I create works that mirror emotional disorientation and the instability of belonging. My practice invites viewers to encounter memory not as a fixed record, but as something living, revisited, and continuously re-formed.
