I photograph out of the same necessity that dictates writing, and I write out of the same need that drives me to photography. Image and text are approached as parallel forms of interpretation and exploration. I create stories through lens, ink, and motion.
Photography, for me, is translation rather than documentation. It is drawn to what does not demand attention, yet carries weight.
The equipment I use is intentionally simple. Pushing it to its limits matters more than technical complexity.
I embrace imperfection not only as an aesthetic choice, but as a philosophical stance. Grain, noise, and blur form the visual language of fragmented memory, where technical limitation becomes emotional clarity.
Some stories require time, repetition, and persistence to reveal their weight. Through this extended attention, the accidental becomes essential.
I deliberately date my work, acknowledging the flow of moments as they occur. Images are created as reflections of thought or emotion, without the expectation of fixed interpretation or acceptance.
Fragments are offered. How they are read, assembled, or remembered remains open.
