Artist statement

My practice is rooted in an exploration of traces — the marks, gestures, and remnants that linger after an action, a moment, or a presence has passed. Each project begins through a dialogue with a specific trace or the broader idea of trace itself. At times, the trace leads the way; at others, the work unfolds through an inquiry into how a trace might be captured, translated, or made visible. I am interested not only in what remains, but also in the act of making — in paying attention to what is fragile, fleeting, present, or absent. As a multidisciplinary artist, I work fluidly across mediums — including durational performance, photography, and printing — allowing the material form of each project to arise from the nature of the trace I am engaging with. This open approach enables a continual rethinking of how traces can be manifested, recontextualized, or reimagined. For me, traces are not simply what is left behind; they are openings — quiet invitations to slow down, to look again and to notice what might otherwise go unseen.
