As an artist-anthropologist I combine an artistic eye with an anthropological lens. My art is not ornamental but investigative. My pieces are part of collections and archives, but my true gallery is the unfolding conversation. I am a cartographer of human experience.
I am driven by the study of empathy: what draws us closer? How can we connect between different lived realities and build a world where we all belong equally?
I collaborate with journalists, scientists, ngo’s, galleries, activists, schools, businesses and organisations worldwide.
