About

Seeing reveals, framing creates

I am a Swiss writer and visual artist, currently based in Kyoto. I have a background in Literature and Art History and my practice sits at the intersection of image, language, and perception. My work is driven by a central fascination: the layered complexity of reality and the countless ways human beings construct, distort, and superimpose meaning onto it.

As a photographer working with multiple exposures, I stage a collision between various realities, using multiplicity both as a theme to reveal and a method of creation itself. I therefore invite viewers to navigate the tensions and resonances that unfold across the frame.

With street and black-and-white photography, I love to use my camera to reveal what is overlooked and am drawn to the new significations that framing and the monochrome filter add to unexpected moments, situations, and encounters.

My writing extends these inquiries through language. In BlindAngles, my forthcoming newsletter project, I explore sociology and culture through the following question: what hides where we are not looking?

This prism creates a practice that resists singular answers, treating complexity not as noise to resolve, but as a territory worth mapping.

"The haunting mood, architectural rigor, and conceptual sophistication across this photomontage trilogy are exceptional. Masterfully synthesizing classical architectural recursion (mise en abyme) with specular double exposure stratigraphy, moody chiaroscuro, and selective high chroma interventions yields a deeply poetic, visually spellbinding masterclass in modern urban surrealism and reflective solitude."

BlindAngles

Essays exploring the overlooked aspects of sociology and cultures.

By blending psychology and sociology, BlindAngles traces how the blind spots of perception shape behavior and social structures.

Through cultural exploration, it engages with other languages, rituals, and ways of being as lenses into radically different experiences of reality.
