I`am

Who am I before I describe myself?

I am explores identity and that immediate moment of being that precedes every label or definition. Over the course of a lifetime, many ideas emerge about who we are. Names, roles, experiences, relationships, and expectations condense into an image of identity. They offer orientation — but they can also become limiting when what we have become is mistaken for what we fundamentally are.

What interests me in this body of work is the space behind these definitions.

What remains when, for a moment, we no longer need to explain who we are? When the past, function, and expectation recede, allowing perception to become immediate again?

I am therefore understands identity not as a fixed form, but as something alive — something that continuously changes in relation to the world while still retaining an inner point of origin.

The works move between density and openness, presence and transformation. They do not seek a final answer to the question “Who am I?” but rather explore the space from which this question can arise in the first place.

Perhaps within this lies one of the simplest and at the same time most fundamental experiences:

I am.

Before I define what this “I” is meant to be.
