Statement: My work explores the gap between our inner lives and the structures society offers for self-expression. I’m especially interested in what gets lost or distorted in that translation. As technology evolves, I adapt my tools—right now I’m working with AI-generated text, images, audio, and video. I often approach these materials through humor and the abject, using them to surface what’s awkward, messy, or unsettling beneath polished interfaces. I’m drawn to moments where the technology fails or glitches, because those failures can reveal something more human—more vulnerable or absurd. For me, these cracks open up new ways of thinking about who we are and how we communicate, not just as individuals, but as a species.
