I am a collector.
For as long as I can remember, I have gathered and preserved things—objects, traces, fragments of daily life. What began as a personal archive of notebooks, cans, toys, receipts, even teeth and hair, gradually took on a more structured and repetitive form.
Cataloguing became a way to create order. The act of collecting, selecting, isolating, and preserving, introduced a sense of continuity within the flow of everyday experience. Over time, this process developed into a quiet, persistent routine, shaped as much by instinct as by intention.
Photography emerged as an extension of this practice. By translating objects into images, I create a parallel space where accumulation becomes composition, and repetition becomes structure. Each photograph reflects a moment of alignment between control and observation.
Therapy explores this process as a form of self-organization. It considers how the systematic gathering and recording of ordinary objects can function as a way to navigate time, memory, and internal states, transforming a private, repetitive gesture into a shared visual language.
