I am a contemporary visual artist, focusing on an in-depth exploration of space, time, and light; and the ways in which these elements interrelate.
I’m deeply fascinated by how we experience these phenomena. Space, time, and light are coordinates in our lives, anchor points that help us understand where and when we are. They carry emotion, memory, and awareness. How we relate to space, time, and light is the central question that drives my work.
At the same time, they are also fundamental principles in physics, the basis for theories about the origin and structure of the universe. These are laws that offer clarity and structure.
I bring these two approaches together: the personal and emotional experience on the one hand, and theoretical abstraction on the other. This results in photographic works and multimedia installations in which the viewer can experience these elements in a deeply personal way.
