Artist's Statement
Photography allows me to slow down and pay close attention to the world around me. I’m drawn to details that might otherwise go unnoticed, and I’m interested in the quiet, timeless quality that can emerge when imperfections of the subject, camera, or process are allowed to remain part of the image.
I work primarily with older film cameras and Polaroid materials, whose unpredictability often shapes the final image in unexpected ways. Through this process, I invite viewers to look beyond the familiar and encounter the world from a renewed perspective.
