Artist Statement

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 explores how light shapes the relationship between performer, audience, and space. I am particularly interested in how lighting influences perception, directs attention, and contributes to the emotional and visual experience of live performance.

Central to my practice is an interest in the lighting of the body, particularly in relation to skin tone, color, and representation. I believe the application of light is never neutral; it shapes visibility, meaning, and the way audiences experience performance.
