My recent work explores the interplay of light, pattern, and topography through digital and lens-based media. At its core is an interest in memory and the natural world, particularly in how elements transform over time and through perception. Through macro photography, I generate source images that are subsequently reconfigured into collages and patterned compositions. These visual constructions often extend into video-based works, where rhythmic changes in texture, light, movement, and sound converge to produce immersive environments.
