My work evolves around the presence of body and matter, in relation to digital detachment and collective paranoia. I explore the instability of truth in an age defined by ideological narratives where the materiality of my process becomes a form of resistance—anchoring the sensory and the physical in a world increasingly governed by the smooth surfaces of code.
