Statement

My work investigates the functions of nature through the practice and engagement with mathematical concepts. It is concerned with the logical relationships between parts and with forms that embody progressive, expansive, or revolutionary movements. I maintain a drawing practice rooted in geometric instruction—an approach that allows me to adopt logical methods of thinking and creating, while offering a structure through which to explore and evolve the self. In parallel, I also engage in a performance drawing practice where I experiment with its apparent opposite: the “free will” of the senses. Through the dialogue between these two approaches, I examine how disciplined training shapes our capacity to experience and navigate freedom.
