Artist Statement
My work is an expression of the multiplicity within me—the delicate balance between tranquility and chaos that shapes my identity. Through photography and large-scale mirror structures, I explore moments that capture both the serene and the wildly energetic, revealing the full spectrum of human experience.
In my photography, I am drawn to both the quiet stillness of an empty ocean landscape and the frenzied energy of a rave, where thousands of people dance in loud, full expression. These contrasting experiences—moments of expansive solitude and those of collective, chaotic celebration—are both deeply ingrained in who I am. In the calm of the ocean, I find a profound sense of serenity, an openness to possibility in this world. In the pulse of the crowd at a festival, I feel a sense of connection, an exhilarating release where individual selves dissolve into a shared rhythm. Both extremes speak to my emotional landscape, and both emerge in my photographs.
Just as I lose myself in the process of creating—whether in the quiet contemplation of a seascape or the frenetic energy of a festival—my work is a meditation on these dualities. My large mirror structures reflect this tension. They act as a bridge between the personal and the collective, between solitude and shared experience. The mirrors are not just reflective surfaces but symbolic representations of how we see ourselves and each other, as we oscillate between moments of introspection and moments of communal, unrestrained expression.
My photographs and sculptures are an invitation to explore the unpredictable nature of life, where moments of chaos and stillness are never separate but always intertwined. These dualities—serenity and turbulence, solitude and connection—are not opposing forces but reflections of the same internal landscape. My work aims to expose this plurality, encouraging the viewer to return to each piece, uncovering new layers and perspectives with each encounter.
