I believe art gains its deepest meaning through impact. My practice extends beyond the frame of a single image, using art as a tool to bridge the gap between complex issues—like climate change and academic pressure—and the communities they affect. I approach these initiatives not as a journalist documenting a scene, but as an observer creating a space for dialogue.
