My artistic practice explores the subconscious, mysticism, and shifting ways of perceiving reality. I’m drawn to the liminal and philosophical dimensions of existence – the sacred, the invisible, and what quietly underlies everyday life.

Through photography, I reach into these less visible layers: memories, metaphysical thoughts, and subtle distortions in perception. I build each image in-camera using long exposures, color gels, and flash, letting intuition guide the process. The resulting photographs are vivid, dreamlike, and subtly surreal, reflecting the layered nature of reality.

Rooted in personal experience, my work seeks to shift how we pay attention – to slow perception and open space for quiet reflection, where hidden stories and alternate truths can begin to emerge.
