Artist Statement

"I believe photography is my primary material. Photography is not just the main media that I use but a conceptual order for the works. In order to understand how the visual perception of reality can be constructed, most of my work starts with photographic elements as framing, cropping, light, time, dimension and reproduction.

In my recent works, I have been examining the limitation of photographic reproduction where the picture almost replaces the reality. Trying to create, therefore, a continuous displacement between reality and photography, I produce works for specific sites: taking photos of the location and displaying these photos in this same place they were taken in or transforming parts of the location in a photographic frame. Regardless of the strategy, I am interested in stimulating the viewer to find a new way of perceiving their surroundings."
