Artist's Statement
My artistic practice delves into the extraordinary that can be found within the ordinary moments of urban life. Capturing candid moments of enigmatic strangers allows me to become fully immersed in the present, exploring the juxtaposition of contemplation and instinct. By combining generative video, sound, AI, 3D modeling, and video game engines, I transform static images into dynamic narratives that blur the lines between reality and imagination, revealing the surreal within the mundane.
