Using color photography, I construct ordinary, lifelike scenes: two women embracing, a glass of whiskey beside a record player, or a woman curled up on a lush green sofa. Yet, something feels subtly awry. My goal is to transform the familiar into a metaphor for communicating an idea or feeling. I aim to craft intimate yet uncomfortable images, where beauty and tension coexist, drawing viewers in while leaving them unsettled. With rich colors and expressive gestures, I strive to create visuals that are not only pleasing to look at but also evoke emotion and imply a narrative—one that is hard to discern, leaving space for multiple interpretations. When I look at my work, I want to get lost in the possibilities of the image and explore the space between connection and disquiet.

I use photography because of its inherent illusion of reality and its ability to transcend the literal, allowing the familiar to shift toward the uncanny. When a moment, a landscape, or gesture is isolated within the frame, it becomes detached from its original context, imbuing it with the believability of realism and the absurdity of abstraction. My work is propelled by my interest in human psychology, particularly the complexities of our interactions with others, the environment, and ourselves. Over the past seven years, I have primarily focused on self-portraiture, drawing inspiration from my own experiences and reflections. By being both behind and in front of the camera, I maintain complete creative control, working intuitively to blur the lines between staged reality and emotional undercurrents.
