My artistic practice investigates how visual systems construct and transmit cultural memory.
I work with archives, diasporic memory and the afterlives of colonial image histories.
Images are not neutral. They carry histories, power structures and symbolic systems.
Alongside commissioned work, I maintain an independent research practice grounded in long-term visual and archival investigation.
Research precedes image.
Structure precedes form.
