✦ About

I’m a multidisciplinary visual artist working with photography, video, digital collage, and set design. My practice explores themes of memory, identity, and visual mythology, often blending symbolic storytelling with tactile and digital media. I work independently and collaboratively on artistic and commercial projects — from music videos to editorial visuals and exhibition design.
