My practice examines how images register time, place, and lived experience through processes that move between observation and transformation. Working across photography, sculpture, printmaking, and digital media, I approach the image as both document and constructed space. Across these methods, I treat landscape and figure as coextensive terrains, where image-making is never separated from environmental and bodily systems.

 

I maintain an ongoing commitment to documentary photography. These works are minimally processed, guided by darkroom constraints and grounded in attention, duration, and the moment. While observational, they remain shaped by memory and emotional resonance.

 

In parallel, I rework images through layering, repetition, and material translation, extending them into sculptural and performative forms. These approaches introduce shifts between presence and absence, clarity and erosion. The image becomes cumulative, shaped by time, interference, and memory.

 

Mentorship with Dr. Masumi Hayashi informs my understanding of landscape, perception, and constructed viewpoint. This training developed alongside my theater work, where performance instilled an awareness of the body’s trace in every image and object.

 

Environmental concern runs through all of my work. Across all media, I explore how images hold tension between evidence and ambiguity, resisting fixed meaning while remaining rooted in lived and environmental experience.
