I’m an experimental multimedia artist working at the edge of perception, embodiment, and inquiry. My work blurs the boundary between art and research, shaping experiences that explore how sensation, space, and structure interact to form—and deform—the human condition.
I create immersive installations and sensory interventions that sit somewhere between science, movement, and speculative poetics. But whatever the form, the aim is always the same: to confront. To create visceral, disorienting encounters that push people to question their morality, empathy, and complicity.
At the centre of my practice is SIGNAL—a longform, modular research environment exploring how six core sensory modalities (geometry, sound, light, texture, movement, and biophilic design) influence perception and mental state. Each modality acts as a self-contained study designed to develop specific technical and conceptual tools. SIGNAL is more than a project—it’s a living research architecture, a system for building knowledge through embodied experimentation.
Two major companion works sit alongside it:
-
SIGNAL :: SENSE—the immersive and interactive manifestation of SIGNAL, translating its theoretical insights into participatory experiences and public testing environments
-
Mirror—a mirrored cube that lives in the home, quietly collecting and reflecting behavioural and environmental data to model lived experience as a dynamic system
With a background in clinical systems, dance, and mathematical abstraction, I’m currently focused on expanding my technical practice—working with sensor-based systems, ambient computing, and generative language to create objects and experiences that don't just represent consciousness, but interact with it.
