Artist Statement

My art navigates the boundaries of the unconscious mind, decontextualizing familiar elements and presenting them in a surrealistic manner. Drawing from my background in design, I aim to evoke a sense of both unfamiliarity and recognition through an “ordered chaos” aesthetic that invites viewers to explore the unexpected.

My creative process begins with collecting a diverse array of images sourced from thrift stores or online, ensuring they are in the public domain. These images are then manipulated until they become unrecognizable, forming the foundation of my work. By integrating drawing and mark-making, I add layers of texture and depth, enriching the tactile quality of my work.

Through a dynamic layering process, both physically and metaphorically, I continuously develop, dismantle, and rebuild my pieces, allowing intuition to guide my experimental approach. This journey is as significant as the final outcome, resulting in artworks that range from highly detailed to minimalistic.

Ultimately, my art serves as a playful exploration of perception and reality, encouraging viewers to engage with the visuals and embrace the uncertainty within them. Each piece invites contemplation of the absurdity of existence, prompting reflections on our search for meaning in a world that often seems indifferent, inviting a dialogue with the chaos of life itself.
