Our shared desire to belong to something larger than ourselves often leads us toward forms of escape, imagination, and reorientation. Yet it is hope, harmony, and the quiet convergence of shared interests that continually draw us back into relationship. My work explores these intersections—how human intervention, divine reasoning, and personal memory shape the worlds we inhabit.

Reading and research are foundational to my practice. I draw from the arts and humanities, from religion and music, from technology and taboo, tracing how the material and the sublime speak to one another. These influences form the latticework of my artistic ethos.

Confluence (No. 4)
Vessels linger as echoes of care—marks of tending, gestures of attention.

In this quiet confluence of form and absence, memory breathes through shadow and line.

Inspiration often begins in memory—individual, ancestral, and collective. Some works unfold within complex constellations; others turn inward toward emotionally intimate truths. This range of inquiry allows me to create metaphorical spaces where meaning is blended, unsettled, and extended beyond what is commonly accepted as fact. My goal is not to resolve the tension, but to inhabit it—revealing the thresholds where perception shifts and new forms of presence can emerge.
