Over the past decade, I have documented conflict, catastrophic weather events, and mass migration across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, work that instilled an urgency to anchor art in lived realities. Combining long-term ethnographic research with experimental forms of storytelling, I have worked on the frontlines against the Islamic State, in Global South communities fractured by violence and ecological collapse, and embedded with first responders battling Europe’s largest wildfires. Before turning to photography, I established myself in Los Angeles as a painter, a foundation that continues to shape a multimodal approach incorporating imagery, painting, sculpture, and video. Through this approach, I challenge conventional documentary frameworks to expand our understanding of how conflict and crisis can be seen, remembered, and understood. ​My practice is deeply collaborative, grounded in long-term partnerships with both the communities I document and experts across disciplines.

From the start of my career, I have aimed to make my practice expansive enough to hold contradiction and rigorous enough to reshape how complex events are represented. In doing so, I seek to make visible the slow violences of our time and provoke deeper questioning of the stories that shape our world.
