MARTINNOVAK

I began making photographs in a small darkroom in the Czech Republic, where I learned to develop film with my stepfather. That early experience grew into an interdisciplinary practice encompassing photography, digital media, sculpture, video, and installation.

As an immigrant living in the United States, I have experienced the instability of displacement and cultural change. These experiences quietly inform my work, shaping an ongoing investigation of memory, resilience, identity, and belonging.

I move between physical objects and digital images, searching for connections between the tangible and the ephemeral. Each project becomes a way to examine how personal histories intersect with technology, society, and our shared need for connection.
