STATEMENT

I am interested in the relationship between myself and the others, and how I am the “other” of the “other”, with its implications in the construction of my own self as an artist, in an era where the image of the other is validated through the use of technology; in particular, I am interested in the use of surveillance technology as a media of exploration of our relationship with the perceived world of the “other”.
