Visual artist, photographer and exhibition producer currently based in Antwerp, Belgium. Holds a MFA and BFA in Photography from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp and BA in Art History from University of Gdańsk. Currently assistant at Stieglitz19 and Jef Claes Studio, photographer at Valerie Traan Gallery, previously interned at M HKA. Winner of a Photography Prize 2020 KASKA, featured in PHmuseum.

Working at the intersection of art and science, I create visual narratives analysing parallels between senses and memory, emotional states and conditions of the present. Exploring fields like psychology, neuroscience, ecology or biology I find basis for my speculative photographic storytelling and olfactory works.
