Statement


My practice integrates artistic creation and research in contemporary visual culture. I work with photography, video, audiovisual archives, and generative artificial intelligence to examine how images shape the perception of reality, the construction of identity, and the formation of political imaginaries.


I do not conceive of the image as a neutral representation, but rather as an agent within systems that involve power structures, technologies, media, and those who observe. Therefore, beyond what it represents, I am interested in exploring the operations by which images construct meaning, generate appearances, organize narratives, and intervene in processes of social fragmentation.


The works maintain their formal autonomy but are part of an ongoing investigation in which artistic practice and writing feed into each other: writing poses problems that visual practice translates into procedures and configurations, while the works raise questions that writing develops.
