I am an artist from London, working with photography and lo-fi digital distortions.

Tools are vintage digital cameras, optical obstacles, glitch, noise, partial legibility, and staged constraints to shape how a viewer enters the work.

 

These are the topics, that I keep returning to 

 

Openness. I’ve tested it to the limits in my own life. Now I’m less interested in openness itself than in how it is structured — what people assume they can take, and what happens when that assumption hardens into entitlement.

 

I focus on the adult industry not as an “extreme case” and not as a moral target. It’s an area where this mechanism becomes unusually visible: bodies and images are placed under intense pressure to be classified, simplified, and pulled into other people’s scripts. But the people who work in adult are not characters or functions. They have boundaries, dignity, vulnerability, and a real cost to being seen — a cost that is often more obvious, and often higher.
