The leit motif - Momento Mori- [Latin: remember you are mortal] is the corpus of my work. Photography poses an abrupt halt in time passing and captures a second of reality that is frozen in time, a moment preserved.

I work with and manipulate found images and negatives representing my family history that allows me to explore a time that is unknown to me.

The formulated images are still undeniably a formulated “memory” but through this process, a deeper understanding of these memories emerges within.

A fusion of dialectics: past/present, old/new, mortal/immortal, static/mobile, creating a contemporary collaboration - a process of manipulation that attempts to fight the decay of transience.
