ARTIST STATEMENT:

My art lives in the collision between logic and absurdity, built entirely by hand-cutting, layering, gluing and framing in a specifically chosen vintage frame. I love creating pieces that negotiate gravity and where architecture dissolves into organic forms. I use only secondhand materials, vintage magazines, old photos, and assorted paper relics to create surreal scenes by hand. No AI, no Photoshop—I sometimes wait months for the perfect fragments instead of forcing my imagination with digital tools.
The result is a layered, slightly mischievous exploration of memory, identity, and all the strange leftovers of consumer culture. Each collage becomes a tiny stage where forgotten images get a second act, usually in roles they never auditioned for, but to me seem perfectly harmonious.
