ARTIST STATEMENT

Traveling through vast wilderness has shaped the landscape inside me. Carrying this inner wilderness has enriched my life. Nurturing one’s inner landscape is valuable and almost indispensable for personal development and wellness. My interest lies in our cognition of time and space; through photography and visual art I explore how we embrace and interact with the world. By working with multiple cognitive systems I create nontraditional sensory experiences that deepen our relation to the external environment and inner senses.
