The Space Between Knowing and Being Known
My practice begins with a simple question: what happens when sensation becomes orientation?
Working across photography and experimental image-making, I use voice, vibration, light, and physical interaction to translate embodied experience into visual form. Each process traces a shift. The sound disperses into light, language fragments, space alters what passes through it.
Across these works, translation operates as a method of inquiry. In the synesthetic photographs, constructed paper forms are lit to approximate my internal perception. In the cymatic images, spoken language is transcribed through vibration and light. In the photograms, water interrupts language as it forms, dispersing and reconfiguring its structure in real time.
Meaning unfolds through time, as perception and memory begin to align and come apart.
