about

The boundaries between art, research, and being begin to blur under closer scrutiny. Where does art end and research begin? At what point does living become an inquiry in itself? Both art and research are reflexive acts—turning consciousness inward, interrogating perception, and reflecting back the conditions of human being to reveal the unseen structures shaping experience.

After earning a practice-oriented B.A. in Visual Communication and working in journalism and design, I pursued an M.A. in Visual & Media Anthropology to deepen my visual practice through critical engagement with the politics (i.e., ontological, epistemological, and sociopolitical dimensions) of seeing. My research at the intersection of visuality, culture, and philosophy is thus grounded in the entanglement of theory and practice: distinct yet complementary ways of knowing that, in dialogue, produce a fuller, more nuanced understanding of what we call ‘reality’. My work grasps at understanding both subjectivity and collectivity, belonging and otherness, gender and identity–drawing from media theory, communication studies, and the philosophy of technology.
