ARTIST STATEMENT

I create large-scale, lens-based artworks that merge photography, speculative fiction, and emerging technologies to tell stories across time. Working with staged and unstaged photography, archival material, and generative AI, I construct surreal compositions—speculative portraits and uncanny landscapes—where human and machine perception blur, and the boundaries between memory, myth, and media collapse. These pieces are built through a hybrid process of digital and manual collage, designed to evoke a temporal state in which all time exists simultaneously and storytelling evolves into new, recursive forms.

Three core questions guide this practice: How do the life cycles of stories shape identity and cultural memory across generations? How does fiction help metabolize complex or traumatic experience? And how does our understanding of time—through concepts like deep time and the block universe—influence how we tell and receive stories?

Anchored in research and speculative storytelling, my practice engages media theory, posthumanism, and cultural history, alongside personal and inherited mythologies—at a moment when the very structures that carry stories are unraveling, and the once-clear lines between sender, message, and receiver are collapsing into a recursive system where memory and machine rewrite each other.
