1995年北海道生まれ。京都府拠点。HAPSスタジオ（京都市）にて、制作活動と芸術実践を行う。
東京藝術大学大学院映像研究科メディア映像専攻修了。公益財団法人江副記念リクルート財団アート部門リクルートスカラシップにより渡独。2024年にベルリン芸術大学大学院アートアンドメディア科修了。
私の制作は、「大きな制作」と「小さな制作」に分けられる。「大きな制作」では、装置と映像を通じて、エクソフォニー（「母語の外にある状態一般」の意）の新たな語りの形を再考している。近作では、移住の経験で得た、よそ者／移動者*1の視点をもとに、移動者の言語感覚*2を主題に扱う。手法としては、メディア考古学*3の観点から装置を自作し、映像や詩作を通じて、その装置を取り入れた語りを追求してきた。
「小さな制作」は、移住の経験から着想した、生活と制作の関係を考えるシリーズである。ベルリンでの移住を通して、それまで分けて捉えていた生活と制作が、地続きになった感覚を覚えた。この生活と制作の関係を、よりカジュアルに、開かれた形で考えるためのためのオルタナティブな芸術実践を「小さな制作」と呼ぶ。これまで、ポッドキャストや、セルフドキュメンタリーを通じて展開してきた。
2020年制作の「灯すための装置」が第24回文化庁メディア芸術祭アート部門新人賞を受賞。主な個展に「ポリパロール」（アートセンターBUG、東京、2024年）、パフォーマンスに「おloquさん」（KYOTO EXPERIMENT 2025、京都）など。Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2022 The Arts選出。
