My artistic practice explores the fluid nature of reality as synthesized by perception and memory — the collage of  individual experiences that, through their entanglement, shape collective life. I create paintings that flicker between abstraction and representation, using this visual tension to delay recognition and let meaning, like memory, emerge gradually, partially, and contingently. My work articulates itself through layered spatial interactions that surface, congeal, recede, reappear, and then reshape our understanding of the present.

I’m particularly interested in how everyday objects, rituals, and habits hold symbolic weight—how meaning hides in the mundane and, when seen clearly, can expand into ontological and cosmological significance. I see my process as a kind of excavation—unearthing symbols, images, and feelings from the terrain of my mind, interested not only in beauty, but in grief, stillness, and the ordinary; all of it together.  These psychological artifacts arrive disjointed and distorted by time and yet are inextricable from one another and, therefore, my worldview. I build each painting through segments; every mark disrupts and responds to the last, mirroring the fragmented, dynamic, and sensorially charged process through which memory and perception intertwine and inflect one another.

My work tries to hold onto the small moments that ground us, even as the remembered and the forgotten, the past and the present, and myself and all others, collapse into one another.This practice reflects my belief that reality itself is not fixed but constantly transforming, each individual performing their own existential translation.
