I strive to encourage curiosity that may lead to questioning in today’s digital age. Technology provides people with the opportunity to learn from a wealth of information, but not always the tools for critical thought. Without the ability to utilize the knowledge it offers, they miss opportunities to improve themselves and solve broader problems.

To communicate this message, I pair realism with abstraction. I combine lifelike vector graphics, video footage, or drawings with non-representational elements such as shapes, expressive lines, and transparent objects; many are often layered within a single frame. This distortion of real-world elements suggests that success in the modern world requires a change in perspective, and that imagination and innovation can benefit society when built upon a foundation of careful observation.
