VISUAL STUDIES

An image can become something else.

Translation explores the movement of an idea from one form into another, photograph into drawing, image into collage, observation into illustration.

These works allow the same questions to reappear through different materials, gestures, and ways of seeing.

SUPER 8

I’m not a videographer. I approach Super 8 the way I approach photography: instinctively and playfully. The tiny viewfinder makes it tricky to focus, and sometimes I forget to check at all.

But that’s part of the charm: the imperfections, the surprises, the softness that happens by accident. There’s no bad shot here. It’s less about precision and more about the joy of seeing moments move.
