I create art to merge sound and image—transforming rhythm, emotion, and atmosphere into immersive visual experiences.

I’m most drawn to creating immersive, multidisciplinary work where sound and image evolve together. By combining abstract visuals with electronic soundscapes, I create pieces that feel rhythmic, layered, and alive—more like environments than objects.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from the intersection of sound, image, and experience—whether I’m immersed in nature, navigating urban landscapes, or creating and listening to music. Poetry and human relationships fuel the emotional layer of my work, while concerts and sonic environments influence its rhythm and movement. My process is about translating these moments into visual forms that feel alive and interconnected.
What would you do with $25,000?If awarded $25,000, I would invest in creating a new body of immersive, multidisciplinary work that merges visual art and electronic sound. I would produce and exhibit the collection, while also expanding my digital presence to reach a wider audience. The goal is to build momentum—both creatively and professionally—and sustain ongoing production of new work.
