Artist statement

My practice explores hyperrealism through the lens of the uncanny and the grotesque, using the human body as a site of transformation and tension. I am particularly drawn to the space where beauty and discomfort coexist, creating works that challenge the viewer's expectations of identity, innocence, and the familiar. Through meticulous detail and heightened realism, my work aims to blur the boundaries between the real and the imagined, inviting prolonged observation and unease.

Central to my practice is the creation of human-animal hybrids, which serve as metaphors for vulnerability, instinct, and the fractured nature of the self. Works such as Innocence and Run Rabbit, Run investigate these themes through personal and symbolic narratives. Run Rabbit, Run, a hybrid piece combining my own likeness with that of a rabbit, reflects ideas of fear, flight, and self-preservation, while also confronting notions of softness and threat. By merging human and animal forms, I question how identity is constructed and how primal instincts persist beneath social façades. Ultimately, my work seeks to provoke emotional and psychological responses, encouraging viewers to confront discomfort and reconsider the boundaries between humanity, animality, and self.
