Artist Statement

My work explores the relationship between memory and place.

I am drawn to places shaped by time, where everyday life has left its mark. Through long-term photographic projects, I return to environments that invite reflection on belonging, history, and the ways people inhabit the world.

Through photography, I explore how memory is carried by places and what they reveal through time, light, and the traces of everyday life.

Rooted in personal experience, my work reflects on the quiet connections between people and place and how the past continues to resonate in the present.
