My work operates within pre-existing environments, subtly infiltrating social spaces to expose and reconfigure behavioral patterns. Through a set of controlled interventions, I manipulate perception using three primary strategies: subliminal influence, social separation, and the Stalking Horse (a visual decoy that conceals and delivers the work’s true intent).

Some works embed themselves discreetly into their surroundings, functioning as invisible forces that imperceptibly guide, nudge, or mislead. Others, the Stalking Horses, act as their counterpoint, standing within the space as explicit markers, framing and amplifying the presence of these hidden interventions. Like the chorus in Greek tragedy, they reveal, comment on, or distort the underlying structures at play, making the unseen momentarily visible.

Working with text, sound, printed matter, directional cues, and framed elements, I stage moments of disruption that blend into their environment while subtly dislocating the familiar. My practice is rooted in social observation and remains responsive to the specific conditions of its context. Rather than imposing a fixed narrative, each work engages with the architecture, atmosphere, and implicit rules of its site, allowing meaning to emerge through friction, recognition, or an unnoticed shift in spatial awareness.
