Where do you locate yourself in relation to the systems you work with?
I occupy a position between authorship and orchestration.
My practice stands inside algorithmic systems without surrendering to them. I work from within generative frameworks—VQGAN+CLIP, datasets, latent spaces—while continuously interrupting their logic with intention, repetition, refusal, and care.
I am positioned close to political memory, collective trauma, and image saturation. I do not treat AI as neutral or autonomous; I treat it as a cultural mirror shaped by bias, loss, and desire. My position is unstable by design—fragmented, shifting, and conscious of its own limits—because stability often belongs to power.
Where are you heading, and what is pulling you there?
My vector moves toward using AI as a site of resistance rather than efficiency.
I am pulled by unresolved histories, silenced bodies, and moments where technology collides with grief, protest, and ethics. I follow tension more than resolution: between control and surrender, automation and responsibility, visibility and erasure.
What pulls me forward is the question of how images can still wound, remember, and testify in an era of infinite generation. I resist smoothness, spectacle, and aesthetic neutrality, choosing instead distortion, slowness, and emotional friction as navigational forces.
How would you describe the space your practice is currently unfolding in?
My practice unfolds in a hybrid space: part computational, part emotional, part political.
It exists between code and mourning, between machine vision and human memory. This space is unstable and pressurized—shaped by surveillance, censorship, algorithmic optimization, and the demand to constantly produce images.
Rather than occupying a clean digital environment, my work deforms the space it enters. It treats AI systems as terrains marked by scars, noise, and historical weight. The resulting space is neither utopian nor dystopian, but unresolved—a site where technology is forced to confront the bodies and stories it cannot fully contain.
