My work looks at the spaces "in-between."

Because I come from a divided country, I have always been aware of the lines that separate us. In Berlin, I recognized a different kind of boundary: the way institutional power uses a "white noise" of rules and expectations to wash out the individual. For someone with my background, the "glare" of society isn't meant to help you see—it’s meant to make you disappear.

I use my camera to record the friction of staying whole in a world that tries to pull you apart. I’m not interested in a perfect, still photo. I’m looking for the vibration—the proof that a person is still there even when the system tries to freeze them. Whether I am building "Monoliths" of light for protection or tracing the frantic heartbeat of a portrait, my work is a refusal to be silenced.
