Growing up watching my father work as an electrician, I learned early on to pay attention to the invisible labor that keeps our world running. My multi-disciplinary practice centers on these electricians, essential workers who build and maintain our modern cities, yet remain invisible, underpaid, and vulnerable within the very systems they sustain. Using the visual language of street wires, junction boxes, and worn switchboards, I look at how our physical surroundings reflect deeper inequalities of power, class, and safety. Ultimately, my work examines personal memory alongside universal issues around bodily risk, structural neglect, and those who quietly bears the cost of progress.
