i create mixed media art that speculates on possible futures while remaining grounded through found materials, layered textures, and audience participation. my practice explores the intersection of science fiction and physical reality — investigating how we imagine futures as acts of resistance. i combine photography, sculpture, and installation to blur the line between documentation and speculation. through my work i examine our collective numbness to injustice and my own complicity as an artist, inviting viewers to consider: what does it mean to imagine radical futures? who shapes these narratives?
