​

I carry a dual awareness:

one shaped by distant echoes of global trauma, the other by the closeness to the human empathy of my own. 

one as a viewer, the other as a re-producer. 

​

Taking images of people in the news media used for press presentations of the traumatic scene due to collective violence,

and recreating them in life-size, with erased or smudged signs of nationality or ethnicity, is a repertoire of creation. 

Through the practice, I reconstruct figures, objects, and historical fragments, treating each piece as a site of tactile memory and emotional resonance.
