About

In my work, I am interested in technologies of visibility—screens, surfaces, and infrastructure—as devices that organize what can appear and how we perceive it. The screen is conceived as that which reveals and conceals, exposes and protects. Through these devices, I explore how technology shapes our bodies, our emotions, and our narratives, thereby contributing to the construction of our relationship with the world. By introducing opacity, roughness, and fragmentation into the visible, my work seeks to open breaches within dominant regimes of perception and to reveal spaces where other ways of seeing, feeling, and inhabiting the world can emerge.
