I am a multidisciplinary artist working with a wide range of mediums such as photography (digital/film), video, installation, sculpture, and readymades. Outside of my artistic practices I am a commercial, lifestyle and food photographer working with exclusive brands. Lately, I am reflecting on themes related to “body” such as post-humanism, cyborg bodies, dolls/puppets and love dolls from a feminist/queer perspective. As a graduate of media studies and sociology my work is always intertwined with social theory and critique. I am interested in the margins, the abject, the grotesque, the deviant and their social construction through visual imagery.
