There is a yearning in my gaze that refuses to settle. A quiet restlessness that moves like a current beneath my skin, easing only when the world opens itself to me again. It’s never enough just to be – I need to catch it too: the fleeting, the flowing, the thing that’s almost over the […]

In the heart of Southeast Asia, where rainforest meets sea and ancient traditions blend with modern currents, lies Malaysia — a country shaped by contrasts, forming a rich and vibrant whole. Here, many worlds exist side by side, and it is precisely this diversity that makes Malaysia so unique. It’s been more than 30 years

Deep within every imagination, every situation, and every emotion, exists a world of hidden nuances and subtle details. In the project Unseen Forest, the viewer is invited on a visual journey through these concealed realms of reality, where photography becomes the tool to reveal the unseen and explore the unknown. Through a series of double-exposed photographs,
This project is about how we often ignore the nuances. Again and again, people are reduced to numbers and percentages. To populations and segments. To anonymous representations of humanity. In statistics, individuals become data points in a spreadsheet or a chart, where they can easily be moved around, have their titles, shapes, and appearances altered.
