"As an artist, my practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of media, drawing from film history and childhood development studies to create works that resonate with both nostalgia with contemporary relevance. Through a lens that celebrates the campy nature of art, I dive into its profound implications, joining narratives that bridge the gap between innocence and complexity.
At the core of my artistic journey lies a fascination with storytelling and its connection to our personal experiences. Each piece is a reflection of my own memories and experiences, inviting viewers to see my pop culture references in a different way. By merging the whimsical with the profound, I want to start a conversation on the nuanced intersections of art, pop culture, politics, and the human experience."
