Artist Statement
I am excited to live today, in a rapidly changing world in which visual media play an important role. I have always been fascinated by optical image—I began my path from black and white film photography, and today I am discovering the realm of virtual reality. I am interested in such issues as mind and body, carnival culture, mixing of documentary and staging approaches, political context, religion.
My goal is to work at the intersection of social studies, literature, technology, science, visuals and sound. I aspire to meet the challenges of the outside world, and to make art that creates a new visual experience for a new human.
