Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
My practice spans photography, installation, sculpture, and video, with a strong engagement in the legacy of conceptual art. Through my exhibitions, I explore narrative structures and questions of representation through a Marxist lens. I focus on narrative installations that question institutional norms or historical events, working both site-specifically and context-sensitively. My work reflects on the social, economic, and institutional frameworks that shape human experiences, with a particular focus on migration. Rather than solely emphasizing the final artwork, I highlight the conditions, processes, and ideas that inform its creation. As a result, the materialization of work might be a concept, a request, an attempt, a gesture, or a sketch. I work in a collage-like manner, combining personal histories with larger historical and political events. While "the personal is political" remains a point of interest, I expand this notion to make the personal legible within broader socio-political contexts. This approach allows for a more complex dialogue, where personal experiences become truly political rather than merely symbolic.
