Artist Statement:
Since 2024, my practice has explored the collapse of linear time and the space between memory and imagination, where fragments of the past and future coexist. I create surreal collages in which solitary figures inhabit fractured landscapes that open onto emotional terrains of alienation and renewal. My hybrid analog–digital process merges hand-cut and digital techniques: I source and edit imagery online, print and cut fragments, assemble them physically, then scan and refine the compositions digitally. Finalized as high-resolution gloss Vibrachrome prints, the works expand in scale while preserving the intimacy of their hand-cut origins. Through this non-traditional process, I push the boundaries of modern media to reconstruct meaning, transforming found imagery into new visual narratives that reflect how technology reshapes memory, perception, and imagination.
