she/her
In my artistic exploration, I delve into the unseen realm of our surroundings, unveiling the intricate dance between humanity and our environment through the lens of thermal photography. Capturing the silent dialogue of heat and light emissions, I reveal the dynamic interplay between human presence and the natural world. The process is initiated by crafting enduring compositions from the thermal photos I have captured, using meticulous collaging as the foundation for my paintings.
Weaving together fragments of thermal imagery, these constructed narratives speak to the profound impact of our actions on the planet. Distance and space emerge as central motifs, guiding viewers through a visual odyssey of exploration and introspection. By infusing my work with thermal aesthetics, I invite audiences to witness the subtle yet profound transformations wrought by our collective footprint.
Ultimately, my art serves as a conduit for deeper understanding, illuminating the interconnectedness between human activity and environmental dynamics.
