Solo Exhibition: "Digital Shadows"
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York · Curated by Jennifer Gross
Visual Artist & Media Creator
Exploring the intersection of digital art, interactive media, and human connection
I create immersive visual experiences that challenge perspectives and invite viewers into layered narratives across photography, video installation, and experimental digital media.
Creative Practice
My work investigates themes of identity, memory, and the liminal spaces between physical and digital realities. Through multi-sensory installations and time-based media, I invite audiences to reconsider their relationship with technology and the ephemeral nature of contemporary experience.
Based in Brooklyn, my practice spans gallery exhibitions, public art commissions, and collaborative projects with cultural institutions worldwide.
