My practice inhabits the liminal space where photography and digital art converge to create worlds where reality warps, light dances, and perception is continuously redefined. I explore how unseen computational forces shape our lived experiences, transforming mundane scenes into immersive universes where the boundaries between physical and digital blur. Through my work, I open doors to alternate dimensions that exist in the spaces between what is seen and what is felt.

In my "Reality Check" series, I digitally transform suburban streetscapes into thresholds where physical and digital realms converge. Each image reimagines familiar roads using various techniques (e.g., halftones, pixelated digital deconstruction, other abstractions and manipulations). For instance, “Reality Check II” subtly manipulates a basic neighborhood scene, inspired by childhood nostalgia and the imaginative possibilities that turn everyday spaces into portals to other worlds to capture the hidden layers and often-overlooked details of a familiar environment. By highlighting this fleeting moment, the piece invites viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty and complexity of the ordinary world. Meanwhile, “Reality Check III" fractures a familiar street scene through pixelation and stark contrasts between halftone elements and synthetic color. The car, rendered in low resolution, becomes a symbol of transition—moving through a world that exists simultaneously as physical infrastructure and digital data.

The acrylic block presentation adds crucial dimensionality, creating subtle reflections and refractions that echo how digital filters alter our perception. This tangible medium contradicts the ephemeral nature of digital manipulation, inviting viewers to physically engage with what typically exists only on screens. Each piece can be viewed from multiple angles, offering different interpretations—much like how our understanding of reality shifts depending on the technological frameworks through which we view it. In a complementary series, "Annotated Sunrise" overlays artist-generated AI annotations onto everyday scenes, transforming the mundane into sites of exploration. Labels, confidence scores, and bounding boxes highlight not only what the algorithm "sees" but also its inherent biases and limitations. The juxtaposition of a serene landscape with algorithmic overlays invites reflection on how these systems mediate our understanding of the world—what is revealed, misunderstood, and lost in translation.

Through these works, I examine the transformative power of light—both natural light captured by the camera and the metaphorical light of computation that illuminates certain aspects of reality while casting others into shadow. By making visible the often-invisible algorithmic gaze, I invite viewers to question how digital technologies reshape our relationship with the physical world and with each other, creating a space where the lens of the camera and the precision of digital manipulation reveal the imaginative potential that lies between worlds.
