ARTIST STATEMENT
In my work, I am attempting to explore the space where memory, material, and perception converge. Working across photography, painting, and mixed media, I am investigating the possibility of an intersubjective encounter—one in which meaning develops through the relationship between my art and the viewer. I am interested in evoking a sense of recognition, not creating a fixed narrative, as well as a feeling of encountering something deeply familiar that cannot be fully named, as if perhaps the work is brushing up against what is beneath conscious awareness.
I am drawn to the surfaces of layering, erosion, concealment, and revelation, investigating histories and tensions between what is visible and what remains hidden. Scraped paint, photographic fragments, weathered textures, stains, marks, and traces accumulate like psychological layers, suggesting that every surface carries evidence of what came before.
My practice is informed by a lifelong fascination with the unconscious and the ways our internal worlds shape our experience of the external one. Years of working as a psychoanalyst deepened my understanding of trauma, attachment, and the fragmented nature of memory. My work is guided by an ongoing curiosity about the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious.
I am interested in investigating the coexistence of tension, chaos, and order. Rather than resolving these opposing forces, I allow them to remain in dialogue, curious about how meaning might emerge through uncertainty. I am drawn to worn surfaces, discarded materials, urban remnants, and overlooked places, searching for traces of transformation and the quiet beauty found in impermanence.
My hope is that the work creates space for exploration rather than explanation. I invite viewers to bring their own memories, emotions, and associations to the experience. I am interested in the possibility that the work may become a meeting place between two subjective worlds.
