Multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker

At the heart of my practice lies an interest in applied philosophy. I am driven by a desire to challenge existing paradigms in history & society and explore the impact of cultural phenomena on our collective identity and vice versa. Drawing on anthropological traditions, I explore the enduring impacts we leave behind and how they shape both our collective and individual sense of self.

Through my paintings, photographs, moving images, and performative installations and objects, I aim to create a space for reflection and exchange of thought. Ultimately, my goal is to bridge cultures and bring people together in meaningful dialogue.
