I mainly create photo-based urban themed artworks and installations with a cultural, environmental, and space awareness. The various photographs featured in my work are all shot spontaneously along my path, mainly in and around transit stations, city centers, and culturally active neighborhoods, and when produced as a site-specific installation is meant to evoke a continuous urban experience. Some of my works feature line art or rings of illumination surrounding the centered image; these are placed in the composition as symbols of optimism, representing growth and transformation. I’m also interested in documenting the existence and placement of nature within the close proximity of architecture, honoring architects, designers, and artists that have drawn inspiration from the natural world. In the end, my work is not just an exploration of a city or place; it’s an outlet to follow and share my sense of discovery and cultural curiosity.
