Artist Statement:
My creative work centers on dissolving the boundaries between the virtual and physical, inviting viewers to contemplate their interplay. My work meditates on the built environment, with a focus on the visual language of cultural artifacts and emerging technologies.
I employ various mediums such as sculpture, installation, kinetic and electronic works, collaboration, design, and digital fabrication. Drawing inspiration from literary science fiction, I use extrapolation and mimicry to investigate how cultural artifacts, in tandem with technology, embody and project desire within a global vernacular. These forms constitute a cultural composite, shaped by an abstract representation of value, making them adaptable to social change and capable of both sparking and reflecting cultural shifts.
As an artist, my role is to interpret these influential forces, which not only coexist with our world but actively shape it.
