Statement
I photograph Hong Kong, where I’ve lived and worked for a decade. I’m interested in what it means to maintain attention—to treat the act of seeing as a form of presence.
My practice investigates compression, interference, and mediation as conditions and side-effects of photography. These formal strategies are also a way of staying connected to what’s distant. It’s here that the camera becomes an object of ritual, a tool for sustaining contact with that which cannot be reached.
