Artist statement

I make work that moves across technologies, timelines, and terrains. To question what they ask of us, and how to call back. My practice explores the way systems of information shape what we feel, remember, and become. I am drawn to the soft zones: the distance between a click and an emotion, the space between a headline and its echo, the delay between a message and its meaning. Working across physical and virtual forms, I treat networks as landscapes, and platforms as architectures of perception. I borrow from memory studies, media archaeology, and communication theory, but I return with noise, fragments, unfinished narratives. I try to hold attention on its submerged murmurs, the low, constant signals beneath the visible. To me, the fun part of taking part in today’s technological game is learning how to rewrite the rules.
