  I work with a range of viewing apparatuses and digital technologies, approaching them not as neutral tools but as active agents entangled with processes of violence, silencing, decay, and rebirth. Woven throughout is an exploration of how material, affective, and symbolic structures—what Haraway calls “material-semiotic” entanglements—produce conditions of legibility, estrangement, and becoming. 

My body becomes a porous sensorium, registering the fractures where media converge and psychic wounds surface. Moving through sites of technological and ecological collapse, I enact a practice of embodied exposure, skin erupting in allergic rashes from contact with darkroom substances, throat dissolving into hallucination from drying out. The body and medium entangle in acts of resistance.

I operate at the threshold between body and machine, memory and void. In this space, I manifests around the phenomena of death, the psyche, the machine, and the state, interrogating the systems that produce these technologies and the histories they attempt to conceal. Through sculptures, videos, and installations, I situates these interactions within a larger framework of ecological, technological, and sociological system, alongside aesthetic framework.
