Bio

For over thirty years, my photography was rooted in black and white, using boundaries, structures, and silence to question existence and disappearance. Recently, my artistic focus has decisively shifted to color. While black and white relies on stark forms and precise distinctions, color allows subjects to dissolve, spread, and embrace uncertainty. Through this shift, my long-standing questions about being have found a new language in abstraction. I now explore how existence proves itself through traces, dissolutions, intervals, and the sensations left behind. My color photography moves away from direct representation while remaining deeply connected to reality. This pursuit is difficult, but that difficulty is also what makes photography endlessly compelling to me.
