My artistic practice focuses on the notions of space and time, exploring the complex relationships that emerge between past, present, and future; between proximity and distance; virtual  and real; nature and culture; the private and the public. Through the medium of the digital image, I seek to revisit these dualities, aiming to transcend their stereotypical boundaries.

My interest lies in the ways advanced technologies -particularly the so-called “seeing machines”- transform the environment, reshape social structures, and redefine the rhythms of everyday life. My artistic research aspires to highlight the social and environmental concerns that arise from these transformations.

As a result, my practice has turned towards the creation of interactive installations, which invite audiences to participate actively, or even to immerse themselves in experiential environments. The integration and operation of the elements are not structured within an isolated, closed narrative, but rather within an open, ever-shifting field, where the boundaries between viewers and the work itself become indistinct.

My goal is to shape a space of coexistence and re-examination, where art functions as a site of dialogue and reflection on the world that continually shapes us.
