Through my art, I aim to evoke a range of emotional responses. I consider my work most
successful when the viewer feels compelled to look longer — to question what they are seeing
and why it exists. I seek to create a subtle rupture between the natural and the performed,
through shifts in gesture, material, or subject matter, where the familiar becomes estranged
and the grotesque interrupts expectation. My work draws attention to the unseen, the
unknown, the forgotten — things that exist at the edges of awareness, waiting to be noticed.

While I create to express myself and the concepts that drive my practice, it is equally important
that the work speaks beyond me. It does not dictate a single interpretation. Each person brings
their own experiences, associations, and projections to the imagery — some may recognize
themes of desire, others displacement or performance, and others may become aware of their
own position in looking, how the act of viewing can implicate them. Some may simply be held by
the visual encounter itself. This openness is essential; meaning is not fixed but negotiated
between the work and those who encounter it.

The tension within the image is not meant to be resolved — only sustained. Remain in the space.
Look a little longer. Question a little longer. Think a little longer.
