ARTIST STATEMENT
I create immersive, light-based installations that explore transformation, memory, and community connection. My work blends digital media, glass, fire, and environmental elements, often involving public interaction and cross-cultural storytelling. I aim to dissolve barriers between artist and audience through tactile, poetic, and often participatory experiences.
