Artist Statement

I am constantly exploring how sound can be interpreted and represented visually. My work is centered around the relationship between sound and its graphical/visual representations, an ongoing process. I also use the concept of transmediation to explore further ideas related to sound. Through experimentation with various materials, I aim to capture the emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological impact of living in our world. My work is influenced by my identity, interests, and reflections on social commentary, concealed within my musical notations developed since my youth.
