the thought, the impulse, the ARTIST statement
My work explores how the body, languages, aspirations, and behaviour are shaped by systems that demand continuity and repetition. Through photography, letterpress printing, installation, and video, I investigate how structures of discipline, production, and social expectations leave material and affective residues.
In the early stages of my practice, conceptual photography and performative self-imagery were fundamental. The body appeared as both subject and surface: a space where gestures of control, shaping, repetition, and erasure became visible. These works often blurred the line between personal identity and collective experience, which is structural and shared, yet experienced individually.
Alongside this work, a series of typographic pieces examined language as an organizing system. Through the use of antique printing plates and interventions, these works explored how language functions as a system of definition and control, and how it is simultaneously resisted from within.
More recently, my practice has shifted toward spatial and material research. The installation allows me to explore repetition, tension, gravity, and material stress as active elements within the work. Drawing on my engineering background, I construct situations where fragile structures are reinforced to maintain their functionality.
In all phases of my practice, the work reflects on persistence: the silent effort required to maintain continuity within systems that rarely allow for a pause, repair, or release.
