2026 solo show- Orion

Drawing from thermal imagery, hunter vlogs, online archives, and digitally altered source material, Orion looks at how images move between digital and physical space. Pixelated landscapes and fragments of internet culture are translated into oil paint, slowing down images that are usually meant to circulate quickly and giving them a physical presence. Hunters, figures, and environments exist in a space where roles keep shifting. The observer becomes the observed, and the landscape starts to feel active rather than passive. Using the visual language of surveillance, thermal vision, and digital media, the paintings consider how contemporary ways of seeing are shaped by technology while still being embodied and physical

The title comes from the myth of Orion, a great hunter who becomes so confident in his skill that he claims nothing can escape him. In one version of the story, he is eventually turned into a constellation and becomes the hunted himself.That reversal runs through the work. This myth would serve as a reminder to mortals to avoid arrogance and boastfulness and to care for all creatures. Rather than showing hunting literally, the paintings use it as a way to think about observation, vulnerability, and the instability of looking and being looked at.
