combines body, movement, light and transformation. My work moves between visual arts, performance and expanded image, creating poetic atmospheres where emotion and perception become visual experiences. I’m especially interested in the relationship between presence, memory and the traces the body leaves in space.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in movement, nature, shadows, silence and human emotion. Dance deeply influences the way I create visual compositions and atmospheres. I’m inspired by transformation: how light changes a body, how memory alters perception, and how an image can express feelings that words cannot fully describe.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in developing new multidisciplinary projects that combine performance, visual art and digital experimentation. The support would allow me to improve production quality, create immersive visual pieces, expand my artistic research and connect with international platforms, exhibitions and collaborative opportunities that would help my work reach wider audiences.
