Description

My artistic practice explores the boundaries of photography beyond traditional representation or documentary form. My analog photograms are created using a technique developed over the years through experimentation. In complete darkness, I expose handmade negatives to found light sources, often layering dozens of exposures in a single work. My photograms reflect a fascination with light as a tangible yet ethereal phenomenon. My work is about harnessing its incredible power to shape space and eclipse/collapse time, merging a multiplicity of realities into a finite yet dynamic form.
