I find refuge in places most would fear.
My artwork is an extension of my insecurities, my struggles, my trauma, and my journey towards healing. Often focusing on my battles with confidence, my pain, grief and loss, I capture self-portraits or intricate details in unorthodox objects to depict pieces of my story. As part of my artistic process, I intentionally utilize atypical and unconventional surroundings, props, and lighting. I find solace, inspiration, and comfort here and I am able to unleash deep-rooted feelings and emotions that have plagued me through my photography. Integrating both symbolism and realism, I challenge the viewer to see past the unpleasant, unbury the beauty and to discover their own story within my work.
