My work explores superstition, fantasy, and the religious narratives that shaped my upbringing. The parables that once captivated me as a child and the doctrines deeply rooted from my formative years often emerge in my photographs, cyanotypes, and screen prints, reflecting religious undertones and allegories.

I am drawn to materiality, the tactile nature of cyanotypes, and the ritual of darkroom processes. Printing on fabric and thin paper allows me to physically engage with my work, grounding myself in the present rather than dwelling on the uncertainties of the future or afterlife. Submerging prints in water becomes a form of baptism, a transformation that assigns new meaning.

Through experimentation, I push boundaries, questioning inheritance, fate, and personal belief. I question the sanctity of objects, traditions, and values passed down through generations. By interrogating my own history, I invite viewers to reflect on theirs, on the systems they were born into, the faiths they’ve questioned, and the comfort found in uncertainty.
