Artist Statement
I am a photographer and digital artist, exploring how perception influences my life experiences (and thus my art practices). In my artwork, I often limit or distort visual information to reflect how I navigate the world—sometimes by altering clarity, or sometimes through adding obscurity.
My artwork serves as a reflection of my inner world and an exploration of how perception shapes people's understanding of reality. Creating art allows me to express my thoughts and emotions that I cannot put into words, and art helps me convey my perspective of the world to others. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to embrace self-expression and to view their own lives and experiences as powerful tools for connection.
