EDITOR & VISUAL ARTIST

ARTIST STATEMENT:

    My art employs narrative storytelling to investigate the construction of social reality, primarily through short-form filmmaking and tableau photography. I observe how cultural and cinematic codes are arbitrarily naturalized to perpetuate a particular status quo characterized by artificiality, arbitrariness, and mundanity. Additionally, I explore how contemporary disillusionment manifests itself as a motivation to reproduce and control the world through visual media. As representations increasingly pervade and supersede the ‘real world’, my work argues that the reality we collectively inhabit is as fabricated and narratively controlled as film itself.
