Based in London, I'm a Ph.D. researcher and artist driven by a curiosity for uncovering stories in various forms. My research journey delves into the intricate history of visual technologies, with a special focus on its intersection with the representation of diverse bodies and their challenges in representation—seeking to capture their essence in both motion and stillness, visibility and invisibility.
My academic pursuits are deeply connected to my artistic practice. I'm particularly drawn to documenting performers and live art, engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from marginalised communities and people with disabilities. Through collaborations and interdisciplinary approaches, I aim to bring my research into artistic expression, reflecting the complexities and nuances of the relationship between visual technologies and diverse bodily expressions.
