My process begins with reading and reflection. Each image emerges from a text that generates a line of thought I later condense into a visual metaphor. Early in my career, I experimented with slide superimposition within the American School of Photography, searching for ways to convey complexity beyond a single image. The dependence on laboratories, however, limited that freedom. The arrival of digital photography became a liberation, allowing me to fully connect literature with image-making, thought with emotion. I construct my photographs through carefully organized lines, geometric staging, and harmonic color, using structure to approach a moment of grace when meaning surfaces just before the image resolves. Each work exists as part of a continuous intellectual and emotional inquiry rather than as an isolated moment.
