ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a multimedia artist who uses photography, video, installation, graphics, performance and text to creatively investigate issues related to the urban space. Immigration, globalization, past and present history of buildings, and shared-public city spaces are among the themes that inform my work. I am interested in articulating conceptual ideas regarding our society into a thought provoking critical language. The concept and the presentation/realization are inherently tied to one another to create provocative work. I describe my practice as a combination between the documentary and the fine arts. My work is layered with theatrical-like imagery and challenges social and artistic conventions with drama, humor, and irony.
