Statement :
My artistic practice is rooted in exploring the dynamics between technology, perception, and identity, and the exchange between old and new, or virtual and tangible.. Over the years, I have embraced a variety of mediums, from indoor and outdoor video projection mapping installations to physical interactive works that incorporate technological elements. I have also created prints, light installations, and sculptures, each examining how technological breakthroughs influenced our visual language and self-understanding throughout the times.
Projects like The Museum of Virtual Domes, Rapid Industry, and Paper Under Control examine how contemporary technology shapes the language of art itself. Meanwhile, works such as The Authenticity of Replication and The Living Machines delve into questions of identity and human experience.
My lifelong curiosity about the fundamentals of mechanics and physics to societal and universal structures, my drive to understand the root of things, and desire to push matter and philosophical boundaries, combined with my background in software engineering and industrial design, impact my artistic process..
Evoking "aha" moments, or provoking lingering questions that inspire viewers to reconsider their relationship with technology and themselves, are among the things I aim to. In my view, art has the power to ignite curiosity and reflection, and even more importantly, leave audiences with more questions than answers.

Individual: Technical Issue 2.0
Science is temporary philosophy is eternal. The work critiques the Atomized Individual's struggle against mortality, where post-Enlightenment, death shifted from a spiritual transition to a "technical failure." The figure, made of packing paper and rusted wire, is trapped in a stretch a maintenance loop of the "Quantified Self." Monitored by digital displays and tracking devices, it treats existential dread as a solvable engineering problem. A transparent horn emerges from the heart as an emotional refusal to expire, while a pristine fetus stares back, mirroring the ego. It is a portrait of a masterpiece on the brink of collapse.

Synaptic State
Inspired by contemporary thinkers like Yuval Noah Harari and Ray Kurzweil, and the mechanical logic of Tensegrity, Synaptic State critiques the "Companionship" between humans and their AI agents. It highlights the tension between the sanctuary of digital tools and the reality of silent data-harvesting. The work uses Industry 2.0 devices and raw materials to remind us of the cold reality behind the soft, seductive light of our "digital friends."
