Artist Statement:
My practice moves between painting, installation, photography, and performance, with the body as both a subject and a working method. Through movement, gravity, pressure, and repetition, I explore how an experience leaves traces—on a surface, within a space, and in the body itself.
The paintings are often made through brief, physical actions. Rather than illustrating a predetermined image, I establish a set of conditions and allow the work to emerge through contact, resistance, and chance. Photographic fragments, transfers, and material residues sometimes enter the paintings as partial records: images that no longer explain what happened, but continue to carry its weight.
I am interested in what remains when memory no longer provides a coherent account. The work does not attempt to reconstruct what has been lost. It considers how a trace can remain active—shaping the present, even when its origin has begun to disappear.
