Selected Series

Each series explores a different facet of identity, emotion, memory, and the human experience. Moving between realism, surrealism, and abstraction, the work follows recurring questions about how we see ourselves, what we reveal, and what we carry beneath the surface.

Within

An introspective series exploring the unseen worlds beneath the surface. Human forms merge with textures, landscapes, and symbolic elements, revealing the tension between our inner lives and the worlds we inhabit.

Blueprints

Portraits rendered in shades of blue, with freckles becoming a visual map of individuality, experience, and imperfection. Each face explores the marks that make us unmistakably ourselves.

Feel

A study of emotion without restraint. These works explore moments of grief, anger, joy, vulnerability, and release, focusing on the body and face as places where emotion refuses to remain hidden.

Reflections

Quiet moments of looking inward, shaped by light, shadow, mirrors, and memory. The series explores the shifting space between how we see ourselves and how we imagine ourselves to be.
