My practice focuses on the processes through which imaginaries are constructed and transmitted, with particular attention to how light, landscape, and certain natural phenomena can become devices for symbolic, scientific, and spiritual projection.
Drawing on methodologies close to visual anthropology and in dialogue with scientific practices and non-hegemonic forms of knowledge, I develop artistic research processes that combine fieldwork, archival research, technical experimentation, and action, which take form in installations, still and moving image, and writing.
