Artist statement

There is often more meaning and truth in the questions we asked rather than the answers that we get. As a photographer, my job is to bear light — in all meanings of the word. My work therefore, can be considered as my invitation for you to meet me in a space where we can contemplate and learn together. I now practice art and make my work by drawing inspirations from my personal experience in relation to the experience of others. Through my work, I strive to foster a safe space where people can reflect upon and respond to a range of complex human conditions while keeping in mind that there is beauty in our desire to connect with the world and each other.The purpose of making art, after all, is to remind ourselves that life is more important than art.
