I'm drawn to both what is overlooked and what is overexposed: the people and environments caught between invisibility and spectacle—and the ethical and aesthetic questions that come with representing them. Recently, my practice has developed through long-term engagement with communities at the margins of urban life in Southeast Asia. Through fieldwork and studio practice, my paintings, photography and writing explore how these worlds intersect materially, socially, and imaginatively.
