FOTOGRAFIA
Meu trabalho nasce do encontro entre fotografia, pesquisa visual e cultura popular. Ao longo dos anos documentei manifestações culturais, povos de terreiro, festas populares e memórias coletivas.
Mais recentemente, essa pesquisa passou a ocupar também o campo das estampas e da arte digital, transformando símbolos, cores e narrativas em objetos que podem circular no cotidiano.
