Artist Statement

I am a visual artist working across different media, but mainly unfolding from the medium of photography and video. I am interested in the archive, and I work with combining both physical, sensual and mental components to it. I use my own family archive, examining the affect it has on one's understanding of the past, and how memories and narratives can affect one's reality. I explore existential questions through my praxis, where the starting point for my work is my personal existence in the world.
