Consumed by ambient systems, feeds, signals, invisible infrastructures, we move through a continuous blur between physical and virtual states. My work explores this in-between: a space where perception slips, identity flickers, and reality feels both immediate and unstable.
Working across experimental and immersive media, I build environments that don’t fully resolve. They hover; familiar but slightly misaligned. Something is always off. Recognition never quite lands.
The human figure operates as a threshold rather than a subject: a permeable surface where information accumulates, distorts, and echoes back. Bodies appear hybridized; flesh entangled with corrupted code, dissolving into constructed identities that feel both intimate and estranged.
Distortion in the work is not purely aesthetic; it reflects an internal condition. Saturation, repetition, and interference produce a psychological pressure where clarity breaks down and meaning begins to drift.
Through image and sound, drones, frequencies, and signal disruption, I create spaces that can be inhabited rather than observed. These environments resist resolution, encouraging prolonged exposure to instability. Within that sustained tension, quieter states begin to surface.
My practice has shifted from articulating overwhelm toward engaging coexistence. I’m less interested in opposing the digital than in tracing how we live within it, how we continuously dissolve and reconstitute across systems. What does it mean to remain present in a condition that is always in flux, never fully settling?
I return to that edge: the moment where something feels known, but never fully becomes it.
