PROJECTS
Unseen Observers
2019-2023
Unseen Observers is a captivating collection of photos and videos captured through IP cameras from around the world during the pandemic and lockdowns. The project explores the paradox of constant surveillance in public spaces, where the cameras watch over people going about their daily routines. Despite the omnipresence of these digital eyes, the subjects appear oblivious to their existence, engrossed in the rhythm of their lives.
The collection provides a global perspective, featuring scenes from diverse public spaces across different countries and cultures, united by the shared experience of the pandemic.
Unseen Observers invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of privacy, surveillance, and the collective human experience. It prompts reflection on the subtle dance between the observed and the observer, raising questions about awareness, autonomy, and the evolving dynamics of public spaces in the digital age.

How to Clear Your Browser History
2019
A bold and immersive project that serves as a poignant critique of mass surveillance, particularly inspired by the NSA and GCHQ’s program, Optic Nerve. The project delves into the invasive nature of surveillance technologies, specifically the recording of public and private chatroom communications, including images and transcripts, to construct a facial recognition database. Through a meticulous and thought-provoking process, the artist silently monitored public chatrooms, capturing the essence of online interactions, and then translated this data into a multisensory gallery experience.
Exhibition Highlights
Key Holders
2017
Enter the enigmatic world of Key Holders, a silkscreen creation where vibrant colors merge with concealed secrets. At its heart, this artwork centers on the shadowy figures who helm the Five Eyes Intelligence agencies—the ultimate key holders of surveillance power. Adorned in vivid hues and layered with coded messages, these figures invite viewers to decipher their cryptic narratives. Yet, the full revelation remains tantalizingly out of reach, leaving you to ponder the hidden layers of surveillance and the guardians of its secrets.
The Unselected
2016
The Unselected carries a profound message—the notion that online communications, often considered ephemeral, leave lasting echoes. By producing silkscreened copies of these digital existences onto tangible paper, the project underscores the permanence of online footprints.
Micro-Utopia
2016
Micro-Utopia is a photographic project that examines and juxtaposes early personal microcomputers with contemporary video chatroom screen captures, reflecting on the evolution of technology and the diminishing boundaries between public and private spheres. It explores the loss of privacy amid government-run online surveillance, inviting viewers to contemplate the shifting dynamics of human-machine interaction.
Glitched Perceptions
2015
At first glance, the objects portrayed in Glitched Perceptions appear distorted, reflecting the inherent challenges in forming clear and unbiased visual perceptions. The distortions are not a mere result of visual anomalies but are intricately tied to the experiential data that shapes our initial interactions with the world. This deliberate distortion serves as a metaphor for the nuanced nature of human experience, where our preconceptions and biases influence the way we perceive the visual data presented to us.
