My work explores how personal experience bumps up against broader social realities, often by zooming in on small, specific moments. As an interdisciplinary artist, I’m interested in how images can hold emotional complexity, invite reflection, and occasionally stir productive discomfort. I also think of making as a way of purging the darkness—not to tidy darkness away, but to embrace its release. Those sly, shifting tensions that sneak into everyday life and keep things interesting are the darkness at play.

 

Consequently, I often turn to humor to make the darkness more palatable. Explorations into surrealism have become another liberating way of transforming the big picture, exposing the absurdities that thrive in the shadows. 

​

Grounded in long-term observation, I focus on moments that reveal vulnerability, resilience, and quiet tensions. Primarily a photographer, expanding into animation and film has allowed me to stretch time, narrative, and memory in ways that are layered, subjective, and a little slippery. My projects often grow from immediate surroundings and relationships, turning image-making into an ongoing process of noticing, witnessing, and sitting with ambiguity. Ultimately, I aim to create work that sparks connection, curiosity, and empathy.
