ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores the intersection of cultural heritage and environmental preservation. Moving from the linear narrative of documentary filmmaking to the singular, evocative power of the still image, I focus on the "invisible" landscapes—the stories and environments that risk being lost to time or neglect.
By documenting global cultures and the fragile ecosystems they inhabit, I aim to bridge the gap between awareness and action. My goal is to create a visual record that honors the complexity of our planet while advocating for the social and environmental stewardship necessary to sustain it.
