Artist Statement
My practice explores psychological and emotional experience within overarching legal, administrative, and technological structures of governance and representation. Weaving together intimate portraits, real and imagined spaces and landscapes, and evidentiary documents and media, my work confronts diverse but intersecting spheres of cultural and political identity. Informed by an interdisciplinary background in photography, physics, and architecture, I draw on both aesthetic and didactic intuitions to address concrete narratives without interpretive mandates. My approach seeks to expand non-fiction media beyond the expository, observational, and poetic modes, exploring themes of governmentality, geography, environmentalism, and the personal dimensions of our technopolitical age.
