My artistic research is centered on issues related to memory, language and the theme of light, intended from a natural as well as religious and symbolic point of view. My works are often the result of an alteration of pre-existing materials and evocative objects, through the use of different media. The technique is a vehicle for reflections on the error, the copy and the fractures of our historical time. The main field of my art pratice is installation and photography.
