Artist Statement

The act of discovering beauty within humanity’s ugliness is what makes life worth living.

My work emerges at the meeting point between matter and memory, where photography becomes a field for listening to time. Light and shadow do not merely reveal form — they construct it, dissolve it, and recompose it. I approach the image as a constantly shifting territory, in which the human and the natural touch through layers of presence, absence, and permanence.

Between subject and matter, I seek a zone of reconnection. The photographic surface is also a kind of skin: it breathes, absorbs, and returns traces. Within it, the instant stretches, matter finds a voice, and the image becomes a space of contact between what once was and what remains.

My practice moves through the expanded field of photography — between analog and digital, experimental and symbolic. The image is treated as a living body in transformation, in which fragments accumulate like memories. The technical gesture is also a poetic one: a way of sculpting time.

In the tension between the visible and the invisible, life and trace, my work searches for echoes of silent resistance and enduring beauty. Each image is an attempt to reveal the connection between subject and world — not through representation, but through the very substance of light, where everything begins and everything returns.
