My work explores themes of memory, identity, femininity, and photographic authenticity. Drawing on thevisual language and iconography of family photography, I stage seemingly mundane domestic moments to create images unanchored from specific times or places. In doing so, I challenge photography’s assumed realism and its perceived link to memory and truth.
As a millennial, I have lived through the shift from analog to digital, and now virtual photography. This personal timeline underpins my practice: I question the authenticity of the photographs I inherited while navigating digital spaces that will shape my children’s memories. These technological transitions raise the central questions of my work - how images construct memory, how photography offers both control and uncertainty, and how it sustains a restless longing: a simultaneous craving for the past and fascination with the future.
Seeking emotional anchors in the constantly changing landscape of photography, I deconstruct and reimagine idealized narratives, reshaping them into nuanced, carefully composed works through photography, photomontage, and digital painting. I also use animation and technologies such as augmented reality and AI to animate these shifting narratives. These processes keep me in a state of time-travelling, moving between what has been lost and the unknown possibilities yet to be discovered.
Themes of absence and loneliness permeate my still images, videos, and immersive installations. All are part of a nonlinear journey, unfolding as fragmentary memories, suspended between the familiar and the uncanny.
