Artist Statement 2025

My artistic practice explores the human condition in the digital age—examining how technology mediates experiences, shapes identities, and alters perceptions of reality. Through immersive video installations and films, I investigate the politics of visibility and surveillance, focusing on our relationships with screens and the flood of imagery they deliver. I’m deeply interested in video’s role within our hybrid reality, and I’m driven by how art can dissolve boundaries, allowing opposing elements to coexist. Nothing is necessarily true or false—it can be both, simultaneously.

I’m compelled to explore the psychosocial effects of our relationships with screens. This stems from my dual background in computer science and art, which allows me to integrate emerging technologies with a critical, human-centered perspective. I view technology as an active collaborator, using screens, projections, and algorithms to explore the intersection of human emotion and digital systems. I believe the way we interact with screens is directly connected to our mental health, especially in times of crisis or extremity.

Technology is both medium and subject in my work. I create participatory spaces where viewers reconsider their roles as subject and consumer. My installations provoke audiences to reexamine notions of privacy and identity, blurring the lines between private/public and real/constructed realities. Cameras, screens, and phones act as tools and symbols of both intimacy and distance. Through my work, I reflect on how technology can enhance connection while also producing new forms of dislocation.

I’ve created works for museums and galleries, as well as large-scale projections that take over entire buildings. I use LED signs to amplify a personal voice in the public sphere, transforming impersonal structures into intimate moments of connection. Though working in public spaces at an architectural scale demands extensive planning and collaboration, it’s worth the effort to reach a broader audience.

I believe art can transcend boundaries, engaging a range of social, cultural, and political issues. I’m eager to continue contributing to the ongoing discourse on art in a hyper-connected world.
