My art practice treats time as material, combining contemporary images and videos with historical mediums and found vintage objects. Working at the intersection of analog processes (manually deteriorated VHS, film, alternative darkroom printing) and digital technologies (appropriated internet content, code, and artificial intelligence), I aim to recontextualize and defamiliarize the present moment.

I am interested in the changing indexicality of the image-the physical trace of time captured in material-and with the overlap of chance and imagination in image-making. My work explores the tension between bodily presence (performance, voice, embodiment) and the digital images constantly recorded, transmitted and archived online.

Through interactive works and performance interventions, I examine identity and image-making in the age of algorithmic machines, asking viewers to reconsider how we create, share, and encounter images in relation to both the historical archive and the Internet as a constantly evolving archive of contemporary life.
