The Edge
My practice explores how cultural differences challenge and redefine the meanings of objects and images. I focus on the complexities of interpretation and how cultural contexts transform the significance of everyday materials and visual representations. At the core of my work is the tension between normative interpretations—widely accepted views that dictate meaning—and the personal mythologies individuals create to navigate their own experiences. These intimate narratives, as crucial as broader cultural frameworks, reflect identity, memory, and perspective. By juxtaposing collective norms with personal reinterpretations, my projects create spaces where images can be questioned, unsettled, and reimagined. The single-channel video installation at the CICA Museum delves into this exploration through a continuous sequence of still photographs. Each image serves as both a tactile surface and a fragmented memory. Instead of presenting a fixed narrative, the work unfolds as an open constellation of signs, inviting viewers to form their own interpretations. It encourages reflection on how meaning is shaped by both collective knowledge and individual memory. In this way, my practice engages not only with the visual language of photography and its digital transformations but also with the broader cultural processes through which meaning is produced, sedimented, and contested—insisting that interpretation remains fluid and always in motion.
