Beauty—like art—is continually being reinterpreted, reframed, or illuminated by the forces of its era. What we call beautiful is always subject to the gaze of its moment, yet certain qualities of beauty endure, resonating across centuries and cultures.

For nearly five decades, my artistic journey has explored the delicate interplay between nature’s beauty and humanity’s imprint—whether benevolent, malevolent, or benign. It is where the dazzling gives way to imperfection—and in its steady shift toward senescence—that our own fragility and essence come into focus.

While the disciplined work of analog photography laid essential groundwork, the blossoming of my current collage practice was unlocked by the freedom of the digital medium. Where film once imposed limits, digital tools now provide boundless possibilities for layering and weaving together images—past and present—sourced primarily from my own archive, along with occasional contributions from artists of earlier centuries.

This incredible liberation is not a rejection of what came before, but the organic extension of a lifelong creative path.
