My work focuses on social and environmental conflict, blending traditional art forms with a critical approach to photography’s role as a truth-telling medium. This series of photographs draws on interpretations of courtly paintings, religious parables, and modern street sensibilities, weaving together a sense of history within both utopian and dystopian visions. Using a contemporary camera, I investigate today’s culture, then reconstruct interior and exterior environments by combining multiple photographs. These landscapes and portraits mirror painting traditions, serving as metaphors for the cyclical nature of history.

My work spans documentary, fiction, and autobiography, offering a reflection on the complexities of the world we inhabit. Through these images, I explore the fantastical aspects of everyday life, moving beyond a modern perspective to uncover mythic elements within the ordinary. The landscapes I document may be separated by decades or miles, but they are reassembled to create a personal narrative, forming my own mythic adventure.
