“I approach my surroundings as if I were seeing them for the first time, critically examining the socio-political space, the sense of home, and how we react to rapid technological changes. My work often carries a tone of dark humor, exploring themes of utopia/dystopia, alienation, and disorientation. Growing up in various places has left me with a mixed sense of belonging and displacement, shaping my identity both as an individual and as part of a collective. This awareness fuels my interest in how images evolve and influence society, particularly the interplay between individuals and technology. I create images and interactive experiences using mediums like photography, videography, CGI, AI, and game engines, adapting my work process to each topic I explore to reflect the complex social constructs we live in.”
