My artistic practice examines the intangible dynamic between time and memory. Central to my work is exploring how memory fragments and distorts over time. I often reference old family photographs as starting points to investigate the fluid, unreliable nature of recollection. This examination bridges personal experience and collective history, studying how vivid memories fade with age into dreamlike, abstract forms. Their beauty lies in this lack of absolution; as they shapeshift, they may become more elusive and less familiar, yet remain deeply personal.

        I work with a foundation of realism to ground my pieces, using it as a reflection of reality. However, I frequently disrupt this realism, allowing elements in a painting to warp, bend, and morph into something more abstract. This visual distortion mirrors the way memories are altered by time and perspective, blurring the line between what is real and what is imagined. Through this process, I hope to offer a cathartic experience that touches on universal themes of vulnerability, identity, and personal history.

        Ultimately, my work is a psychological portrait of both the individual and the collective experience, conveying an inner dialogue through visual storytelling. By revealing what lies beneath the surface, I aim to foster a deeper understanding of the human condition — a balance between the seen and unseen, the conscious and subconscious, as well attachment and nonattachment, like yin and yang, opposing forces continually shape and transform one another.
