     I work with images, language, and structures that already exist, treating them as material rather than reference. My practice often begins with found content, personal archives, or cultural artifacts, which I measure, translate, reconstruct, or reframe through controlled systems and deliberate constraints. These processes allow me to examine how meaning is produced, stabilized, and distorted over time.

     What may appear controlled or analytical is often driven by the need to hold together fragments of experience. I use order not to resolve meaning, but to reveal what cannot be contained.

     Rather than seeking resolution, I use art as a space where opposing states can coexist. The work remains open, unstable, and aware of its own limits, reflecting a reality shaped as much by systems as by the human impulse to resist them.
