Interdisciplinary Works

I am both a visual artist and a cultural anthropologist who aims at expanding the boundaries of the disciplines of cultural anthropology and art by utilizing the knowledge of both to question the boundaries of ethnographic and artistic representations, and to produce artworks which convey the aesthetics of social events or places in which individuals share events of an extraordinary nature.  I believe that these events not only have the power to transform the individuals themselves, but also the creation of different cultural aesthetic forms.
