About My Work
I am passionate about exploring the depths of life and accumulating enriching life experiences. I am constantly learning and driven by the pursuit of truth, beauty, and wonder.
Love is the agitator behind my art, influencing how I interact with and perceive the world. I'm not afraid to say, "I love..."
In my creative endeavors, I concentrate on the female body and movement. This encompasses short documentaries, films, immersive video installations, dance performances, and other forms of art that invite introspective meditations on the essence of life.
I am dedicated to creating art that inspires, offers contemplation and reflection on the natural world, and provides insights into the human experience.
