Photography, painting and writing
My work begins where what appears self-evident becomes uncertain.
We live within arrangements we did not individually create. Streets, institutions, routines and inherited expectations shape what we can see, understand and do. These arrangements make collective life possible, but they also establish boundaries and distribute possibilities unevenly.
Photography, painting and writing approach this contradiction through different means. Photography encounters a world already shaped by human decisions. Painting constructs situations in which relationships and tensions can be examined. Writing questions the assumptions and conditions through which both become meaningful.
None of these practices stands outside what it examines. Each selects, frames and produces relationships of its own.
Selected Photographic Work
Independent photographic series and the long-form essay City in Return, developed since 2025.
Writing
The essays do not explain the photographs. They pursue related questions through language, examining how perception, judgement, institutions and shared conditions influence what people can understand and do.
