I live in collaged dimensions of reality and virtual spaces. I exist in every dimension I confront. As a watcher and a transmitter, I archive synthetic and untamed moments of everyday life to mimic the stimulations of digital culture.

I create translations of any information I consume on a day-to-day basis. I filter them into a personal understanding using domestic items, loose fabrics, and everyday photographs. I assemble the puzzle by repeating the process of making smaller collages and positioning them as parts of a larger macrocosm. Working without any singular focal point within my work, I guide and construct each image to indicate dimensions, moments, personal/universal memories that people can see themselves reflected in.

I am inviting people to share my world, where the collaged spaces coexist with reality and the lines of distinction that differentiate them are blurred.
