Artist Statement

My work unfolds as a form of visual anthropology, tracing the invisible standards that shape our behaviors, interactions, and perceptions. I draw graphic codes from everyday life, immersed in the textures of a hypermodern world. These standards reflect our constant tension between individuality and conformity. Through geometry, I seek to build a universal visual language — translating reality not narratively, but into essential visual structures.
