Artist statement

My practice launches an inquiry into the politics of knowledge: how bodies, subjects, and entities are turned into evidence, disciplined, and disappeared through indoctrination and violence. I work mostly with installation, video, sound, and text, approaching the potentiality of the present. My methodology is situational and context-responsive, committed to the poetics of Doing as a mode of progress. My projects begin from zones of struggle, in study rooms, or public moments, and unfold through dialogue and participatory tactics in favor of mutual transformation.
