- Artist Statement -
My practice begins with recording the present as it flows into the past. I seek out the borderlines in the city where opposing forces collide: order and chaos, construction and decay.
Rejecting staged scenes, I shoot intuitively, letting my body react to the environment. I embrace the so-called errors of the medium—blur, grain, and unpredictable light—as evidence of a raw, uncontrollable reality. My photographs are not definitive answers but questions posed to the viewer, inviting them to find their own story within the frame.

In an age dominated by AI, I'm inspired by a different frontier: biological intelligence. Scientists are now cultivating actual brain cells in petri dishes.
The name 'braincells in a petridish' is a tribute to that pioneering spirit and a statement of my own ambition to forge new creative paths.
