ARTIST STATEMENT

In my works, I aim to explore imaging systems as reflected in different media. I am concerned with the image as both an object and an idea, as a formation both historical and abstract. I am interested in discovering how we subjectively go about constructing this formation, and – since it affects us and we respond to it – how this formation ends up constructing us. I am concerned with the image as a possible identity. The iconic or representative character of an image that prompts us to handle it differently from the way we treat any other object in the world. The way we handle images also determines our relationship to them, our attitude as recipients, as well as the nature of our contemplation. We expect something of images. My works are experiments aimed at discovery.
