About

I am fascinated by the human condition and psychological complexities. Through my work I investigate the intricacies of behaviour, habits, rituals and motives in daily life, from the mundane to the absurd. I create speculative narratives that illustrate, explore and question the notion of authenticity in contemporary society and how individuals are influenced by alternative lifestyles brought by technological developments, social change and scientific advancements.
