Artist Statement
My work examines how intimacy and desire are produced through digitally mediated images and their encounter with the physical body. I work with found imagery from anime, art history, and online archives—images already shaped by repetition, fantasy, and distance.

Through painting, drawing, and graphic processes, I interrupt these smooth, circulating images with slow, manual gestures. The hand becomes a corrective force: introducing delay, friction, and vulnerability into visual systems designed for seamless consumption.

I am interested in moments when immersion fails—when a mediated figure no longer fully belongs to the screen and begins to occupy material space. In these ruptures, looking becomes unstable, and new relationships emerge between image, body, and viewer.
