I approach lighting design as a spatial and temporal form of painting. Through composition, color layering, and contrast, I use light to model the human form, influence perception, and construct a visual narrative. My work treats the stage as a dynamic canvas, where illumination serves as a generative force rather than a mere supporting element.

Central to my practice is an investigation of how light defines and transforms the body, particularly regarding skin tone, color, and perception. I am interested in advancing lighting design beyond generalized systems toward a more intentional and responsive methodology that recognizes the specificity of the bodies it illuminates. By engaging both artistic and scientific frameworks, my work aims to expand the vocabulary of lighting design and challenge established assumptions about visibility and representation.

As both an artist and researcher, I aim to contribute to a more precise, expressive, and equitable application of light in performance. My practice is grounded in the belief that the lighting of the body is not a neutral act; it is a design choice with significant aesthetic, cultural, and perceptual implications.
