After an initial photographic exploration, I transpose these digital creations into physical form, employing a wide range of materials such as stones, steel, aluminum, encaustic, resin, textiles, and oil. This multi-material approach results in works that synthesize and expand the visual and physical dimensions of photography and sculpture.
Motivated by a desire to challenge conventional perspectives on spirituality and digital identity, my work explores the complexities of the human experience in the contemporary world. Delving into metaphysical questions about reality, consciousness, and identity, I examine the impact of technological advancement on individuality.
As digitalization blurs the boundaries between our online and offline lives, I seek to spark reflection and inspire critical thinking about the erosion of personal autonomy and the potential consequences of our ever-deeper immersion in the digital universe.
