I incorporate a dynamic visual vocabulary, employing historical narratives, fictional landscapes, maps, figuration, and abstraction, often alternating between them, through the lens of random encounters and spatial relationships.
I am interested in the multifaceted layers of time, space, and place that impact the formation of personal and communal identity within their underlying socially charged structures.
Constantly referencing the world around me, I create metaphors for its increasingly interconnected and complex nature and engage with the formal concerns of history, globalism, personal narrative, and the social implications of power.
