Artist Statement:

I approach photography as both an artistic and meditative practice—one that allows me to create thoughtfully composed, emotionally resonant images with enduring presence. My work explores the beauty and complexity of the human form, as well as the tension between body and spirit, the conscious and unconscious, and the boundaries between reality and imagination.

Rather than documenting the world as it is, I’m drawn to what can be envisioned—crafting photographs that reflect a personal, creative truth. Each piece is made with the intention of being lived with: art that invites quiet reflection, emotional connection, and a sense of depth within the spaces it inhabits.

For me, photography is more than image-making—it's a contemplative process that enriches life by revealing subtle beauty and deeper meaning in our everyday surroundings.
