Contact
At the core of my work are human beings and the space they occupy—the space that escapes, hidden yet obvious. I explore environments, objects, and their relationship to our actions and behaviors. I focus on how individuals and objects within a space influence one another, in both directions. I play with the image of the world as defined by our sensory system and the physical capacities of our bodies, expanded by the desire to push beyond our limits through science, imagination, and culture.
I work through intimate stories, situations, and actions, transforming them into visual narratives. These are often fragments of personal stories that reflect broader social narratives. I translate them into objects, animations, videos, or drawings.
