His practice combines archival engagement, drawing from both public and private sources, alongside theoretical explorations of photography and time-based media. He places photography at the core of his work, not only as a medium but as a conceptual tool to examine how the past is remembered, organized, and interpreted. By revisiting public and private archives, he creates visual dialogues between different periods and places that challenge linear structures of time and narrative, confronting the construction of images and, consequently, of narratives, testimonies, and interpretations.
He works across multiple visual forms, including photography, collage, video, and photo-installation, engaging with themes of cultural identity and belonging, as well as inquiries into art’s evolution, origin, and ownership.
Alongside his studio practice, he initiates and curates projects that explore memory, preservation, and archival strategies. These curatorial practices bridge historical documentation with speculative approaches, encouraging reflection on how the past is recorded and how future possibilities are critically engaged.
