Artist Statement
My practice is rooted in critical and philosophical engagement with culture. I absorb and process information until it crystallises into an urge to create. Within the exhibition space, I construct environments that invite audiences into a world of reflection, provoking critical thought while allowing each viewer to interpret the work through their own experience.
