About

I am an artist-researcher and facilitator working across photography, collage, performance, and participatory practice. My work explores the body as a site of experience, memory, and communication, particularly in relation to trauma, movement, and non-verbal forms of expression. Using my body as both subject and material, I investigate how gesture, fragmentation, and reconstruction can reveal what is difficult to articulate through language alone. Facilitation and collaboration have become central to my practice. Through workshops, dialogue, and collective making, I create spaces for reflection, exchange, and accessibility, exploring how meaning is formed between bodies, materials, and people.
