My practice is project based rather than medium-driven. Each body of work begins with a lived experience; something personal, political, or cultural that asks to be examined more closely. I follow the question first and allow the materials to respond.

Working primarily through photography and mixed media, I explore grief, memory, human behavior, and the quiet systems that shape how we relate to ourselves and each other. I’m interested in what happens after disruption; how identity shifts, and how fragments can be reassembled into something new.

I create from lived and inherited experience. The studio becomes a place to sit with what feels unresolved and to experiment with what healing might look like in motion. Play is intentional in my process; it allows me to hold heaviness without being consumed by it.

I’m drawn to small, often overlooked moments; a glance between strangers, the texture of decay, the stillness after conflict. Photography anchors my work. Layering and intervention expand it. Through fragmentation and reassembly, I build work that holds shadow and joy in the same frame.

Rather than separating the personal from the collective, I explore how they inform one another. For me, transformation isn’t about erasing what’s been fractured. It’s about staying present long enough to reshape it.
