7 elements

The elements appear here as processes rather than substance — metaphors for the ways we are altered by experience, encounter and time. Looking back, these works contain the earliest traces of questions that continue to occupy my practice: How change takes hold, how meaning accumulates, and how identity is continually remade.

topographies of loss

These works emerged from an attempt to hold memory still. In the act of preserving it, I discovered that recollection is already a form of fiction — revised with each retelling. The series marks the beginning of an ongoing inquiry into self-mythology: How experience becomes narrative, and narrative becomes reality.

naming the bright & dark stars

If Topographies of Loss examined the stories memory leaves behind, this set of work asks what happens when myth is constructed consciously rather than inherited. Here, personal history becomes material for revision. The self is no longer merely remembered, but rewritten.

the city & the city

The inquiry widens from the individual to the collective during my time at the New York Artist Residency & Studio Program. Taking the city as both place and idea, these works explore how places sustain themselves through stories as much as infrastructure. New York becomes a mythic instrument: A site where memory, aspiration and historical revision converge.

twilight states

The scale shifts again. Having explored the mythologies of the self and the city, this series turns to those that shape a wider sense of collective identity. Set in an alternate near-future, the works examine how narratives of survival, destiny and belonging endure beyond the conditions that produced them — and how they continue to shape the worlds we imagine into being.

new flesh

My inquiry arrives at hybridity. Through mutations, literal and symbolic, these works examine how myths, identities and cultures are reshaped by changing conditions. Where earlier bodies of work focused on the construction of myths, New Flesh considers their evolution and the forms that emerge.

stygian suite

In parallel to the other works, the projects, installations and interventions that form the Stygian Suite examine the unstable foundations upon which myths are built: memory, time and place. These works are concerned with slippages between past and present, presence and absence, physical and imagined space, asking what of our certainties remain when the frameworks we use to orient ourselves are ever-shifting.
