Exhibitor and project manager, KABUL à GoGo

I am an artist and a fourth-year photography student at the Utrecht University of the Arts (HKU). With a background in media design and as an alumnus of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), my practice operates at the intersection of imagery, research, and installation.

For me, photography is not an end in itself, but a means to explore social, societal, and anthropological questions—sometimes personal, sometimes universal. By collecting, combining, and restructuring visual material, I create collages, installations, books, and cyanotypes that give rise to new narratives.

Always in search of meaningful connections and experimental forms of storytelling, I invite you to discover my work or to visit my studio in ’s-Hertogenbosch.
