"Every person is a holy place" serves as the guiding principle of my practice, shaping an inquiry into existence and the beings that inhabit it. My work spans figurative, portrait, and abstract forms, exploring the delicate tension between structure and choice, containment and liberation.

Geometric forms, squares, rectangles, and circles anchor my compositions, providing stability within dynamic imagery. These shapes act as symbols of the decisions, frameworks, and boundaries that both constrain and liberate the individual. Within these structures, figures navigate doors, windows, and cracks, hinting at possibilities for passage, escape, or transformation. Architectural elements such as columns and cubes extend off the wall, inviting viewers to move around the pieces, to experience multiple perspectives, and to inhabit the spaces I construt.
