I am a lens-based artist in New York. My work explores how images interact with reality and therefore create social connections among people and spaces. Photography for me is a gesture of love. Visually my photographs tend to have vernacular quality, which is something that interests me the most. I want to explore the duality of the public effects and personal sentiment embedded in most photographs. Holding on to the sentimental power within personal and family photographs, I also think about the public, and about the social function and the exhibition value of photography. For me, the most important question is: how do we care for each other through both creating and looking at photographs?
