ARTIST STATMENT
Empathy and Apathy are some of the strongest emotions that allow us to navigate the world we live in. It’s unavoidable- it is unfiltered- it is what allows us to be in the present. This current body of work has been a culmination of internalized experiences in my life where I am tasked at acknowledging, understanding, and representing the collective consciousness through various interpretations parallel to my own perspectives and ongoing collaboration with viewers through an open dialogue format.

Utilizing my foundations in Graphic design and typography has allowed me to create work that emphasizes intimacy, focusing my vulnerable thoughts and shared experiences translated to “mantras & moments”, through executions of works that combine printmaking techniques and photographic imagery in tangible methods where the facilities are not accessible.

Recently, I have been using raw, organic elements to naturally dye paper that become substrates for these compositions where my innermost thoughts are pronounced on a public scale. Detaching from the traditional designer’s mindset has led me to produce more “imperfect work” allowing for more arbitrary production absent from the rigidity of design and vastly exploring organic elements of each composition.
