My work explores the intersection of memory, sensory experience, and digital technology through painting. Working on paper scaled to the dimensions of a home window, I use digital processing to inform the physical buildup of layers. I dissect and reconstruct short, self-shot video clips into time-based abstractions, combining transparent acrylic and charcoal to let past and present meld together.
In an age dominated by screens and continuous streams of information, my practice considers how contemporary devices mediate the ways we experience, understand, and remember physical environments. By translating digital frames into tactile, painted layers, these works approach interiors and landscapes through a contemporary lens, framing painting not merely as an object, but as an embodied duration of lived time.
