I am not searching for beauty.

I am searching for what lives beneath it.

My photographs begin where certainty ends. They are attempts to understand the invisible structures that shape us: the unconscious, desire, fear, memory, identity and transformation.

I am drawn to symbols because they speak where language fails. A key, a flower, a rope, a mask or a fragment of the body are never objects in themselves. They are thresholds into psychological landscapes.

I do not seek to explain the human condition. I seek to question it.

Every image is part of the same investigation:

What remains of us beneath the identities we construct?

Who are we when no one is looking?

Why does the body protect itself even when it longs for connection?

When does protection become control?

Can an ordinary object become a psychological state?

What happens to us when something changes us forever?

I still don’t know the answer.

That is why I continue making photographs.
