Within my work I explore the fragile relationship between individual consciousness and the social structures that shape it. My particular interests are the tension that emerges when personal experience and bodily reality do not fully align with the collective expectations, roles, and symbolic systems through which society organizes everyday life. I often construct encounters between figures, objects, and crowd, creating situations in which personal perception and collective narratives collide.
