About

My artistic practice emerges from a desire to listen to what is seldom heard: muted memories, erased presences, bodies that exist in the in-between — between being too visible and never really seen.

As a queer, racialized, and migrant person, I’ve lived the ambiguity of being both present and invisible. Art has become my way of surviving erasure — and of building presence through silence. I create images that are not declarations but traces.

I work with self-portraiture, shadow, light, abstraction, and color. My visual language oscillates between the figurative and the ethereal, between what is real and what escapes. I explore how photography — and other visual forms — can hold space for the unspeakable, the delicate, the still-beating.

My projects seek visual forms for what still pulses: small rituals of listening, care, and subtle affirmation. I’m not interested in shouting – I’m interested in making the viewer stop. Listen. Feel. Recognise.

My research focuses on the poetics of presence under threat — how image-making can become a form of symbolic repair and honoring what could have been forgotten.

What I offer is not loud. It is an art of survival — an invitation to pause, to feel, and to remember. A gesture of radical attention to all that persists, softly.
