I’m interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers – or sometimes multiple answers. It’s here that I try to imagine patterns or codes to make sense of the unknowns that keep us up at night. I’m also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation.
