Artist Statement:

I work primarily with moving image to explore the human mind through themes such as emotions, perspectives on life and death, self-evidence and common sense, and psychopathology, often in the shifting space between society and the individual. In recent years, I have focused on expressions that emerge from intimate relationships between the artist and their subjects.

The foundation of my practice is deeply influenced by my experiences as a socially withdrawn adolescent and as a staff member at a psychiatric welfare facility. These experiences have profoundly shaped my observations and imaginings of the human inner world, the process of dialogue with others, the relativization of social norms, and the act of imagining in the face of questions that may never yield definitive answers.

Humans can smile while carrying sadness, or cry out of joy.
A loud voice may be compelled toward simplicity, but a soft voice can preserve complexity and nuance.
My video works invite viewers to listen to the private voices of individuals,, and to imagine—without seeking conclusions—what lies within their innermost narratives.

In my exploration of the human mind, what I seek from artistic expression is the power to unsettle the many boundaries that define our humanity.
