I work with photography as both image and material. My practice begins with the portrait — often precise and controlled — and then shifts through alteration: scale changes, removals, interruptions, and drawn interventions that test how presence holds together.

I’m interested in what remains when an image is fractured, how personality persists through distortion, and how humor, unease, and beauty can occupy the same surface.
