bio
My trajectory is shaped by the conjunction of worlds I've seen and lived, a visuality that goes beyond record-keeping and allows me to question, tension, and modulate the status of the image as reality. Everyday life, the path of time through matter, the chaos of cities also found in the countryside permeate my gaze, which documents the world and transforms it into another field of meanings.
