The Idea(s)
My work begins with a curiosity about concerning unseen forces that shape our perception of reality. Drawing from science fiction, metaphysics, esoteric traditions, and socio-political theory, I construct speculative frameworks to explore consciousness, belief, and the mysteries of existence. These projects operate as conceptual investigations—ritualized experiments into the nature of perception, the construction of meaning, and the human desire to transcend the known.
By staging fictional test zones and research labs, I invite viewers into parallel narratives where truth and illusion intermingle. The work is deeply informed by historical research, spiritual inquiry, and absurdist critique, often embedding “secrets behind the veil” that reward deeper contemplation. Ultimately, I seek to create environments that provoke reflection on our individual and collective roles in shaping reality, nudging participants toward a greater awareness of their own agency, imagination, and potential.
