Research & Writing

My research explores the intersection of technology, embodied experience, and spatial practice. This theoretical engagement directly informs my installation work and curatorial projects.

Through writing and curation, I investigate how digital technologies mediate our relationship to space, memory, and perception. These scholarly activities are not separate from my artistic practice but rather form an integrated approach to understanding contemporary experience.
