Photography, for me, is a way to make inner spaces visible. What we feel when we stand between light and shadow, when we are alone in a room, when architecture is not merely a backdrop but part of our experience. I want my images to create a quiet tension; to not only be seen, but also felt — and through that feeling, to open new perceptions of space, body, and color.

My work is shaped by an ongoing fascination with physicality — not simply as an aesthetic quality, but as a way of negotiating identity, space, and perception. I use the camera not only to create images, but to capture atmospheres: the subtle relationships between light and darkness, closeness and distance. I am interested in how space shapes us, and how, in turn, we transform it through our presence and movement. Just as architecture can become an extension of the body, an image can become an extension of experience.

Ultimately, I see my photography as an invitation — for the viewer to accompany me into spaces that are both familiar and strange, into moments that appear simple yet are layered with emotion and meaning. I hope that my images provoke questions, evoke moods, and open a space in which perception and imagination can resonate with one another.
