The spark of creativity is akin to shooting stars, it shines only for those who dare to look beyond.
Since 2008, I have explored the radical malleability of the image as a territory of transformation rather than a space of representation. Photography serves as the starting point of a process of deconstruction through which the visible gradually loses its claim to self-evidence.
My work inhabits that interstice where reality begins to become uncertain. I am less interested in showing than in shifting the gaze, introducing a form of disturbance into the image capable of unsettling our perceptual mechanisms. What interests me is not so much what the image asserts, but what it allows us to glimpse once it ceases to conform to our expectations.
I work from recognizable scenes, forms, and fragments of the world, subjecting them to processes of distortion, displacement, and transfiguration. The familiar remains present, but subtly altered — just enough to evoke the paradoxical sensation of a memory that does not belong to us. The image then becomes a place of experience rather than narrative: I seek to create the memory of an absent event, the lingering trace of an emotion without origin, something that might have been lived without ever having existed.
At the intersection of photography, music, and digital practices, my approach has developed through the hybridization of mediums and a refusal of the boundaries between capture, composition, and alteration. The image is never a definitive result for me: it is a surface of research, an organism that I can deconstruct, recompose, and push to the point where its photographic nature becomes almost indeterminate.
Light then becomes one of the essential vectors of this transformation. I use it as a visual material in its own right, capable of introducing a rupture into the gaze: that precise moment when what we see ceases to coincide with what we believe we are seeing. The image is no longer an imprint of reality, but the site of its metamorphosis. It is within this rupture that my territory lies: between perception and truth, between memory and invention, between the world as it is given to us and the one our gaze constructs.
My IKIGAI (生き甲斐) lies in this relentless pursuit of strangeness, in the necessity of making what we take to be real begin to waver: creating images that do not show the world, but invite us to look beyond what we believe we see — to where, like a shooting star, the spark of creativity shines only for those who dare to seek it.
