BEING_ME

Embracing the power of movement, my work is a testament to the enthralling fusion of physicality and emotion, where the poetry of the body intertwines with the multi-faceted spheres of philosophy and socialization. Through the transformation of in-situ spaces with interactive installations and the permeation of technology, my work challenges our deeply interconnected world and celebrates the unbridled anarchy of innovation. Incorporating haptic and non-haptic elements, and unraveling the complexities of memory, identity, and collective awareness, my pieces defy traditional structures that offer a glimpse into the realm of what lies beyond our perceivable reality. Collaboration and interactivity form the pillars of my practice, inviting active participation and challenging the constraints of a single perspective. By bridging what separates the artist from the viewer, the place is not just an incidental backdrop to my work but an integral character that shapes and molds its purpose. In-situ art is my compass, guiding me towards spaces that yearn for unwritten stories.
