"My creative endeavors, particularly regarding the impacts of global warming and climate change, merge photography with digital art. I hold the view that artistic insights thrive through cross-disciplinary practices, which significantly shape my exploration of various themes. The pieces in this series strike a balance between representational and abstract styles, capturing both static and dynamic qualities.

EXPATRIATE: THE LIVING LIGHTS Series invites us to delve into our shared archetypal heritage, exploring the intricate tapestry of our relationship with Earth, twenty millennia after its destruction due to human actions. This narrative unfolds as a daring exploration of social philosophy, where we envision an improbable evolution of flora and fauna on a distant exoplanet that becomes their new sanctuary.(...)"

"In this reimagined future, the essence of modern utopias must resonate with ecological harmony, serving as a beacon to navigate the dire environmental challenges of our time.

What if, in the grand theater of 200 centuries of exo-evolution after Earth was destroyed, trees and plants awakened to the own glow of bioluminescence, forging a radiant defense against the relentless shadows of human deforestation.
