My art is an exploration of the unseen—the invisible forces that shape our experiences and perceptions. Time, memory, power, money, and technology form the foundation of my inquiries, while my work unfolds in the liminal spaces where imagination meets reality.
As an interdisciplinary artist, I engage with painting, sculpture, augmented reality, and immersive installations, using each medium to craft experiences that dissolve boundaries between the tangible and intangible. I am drawn to the process: the act of transforming abstract concepts into forms that provoke reflection and discovery. In these works, I incorporate common and known symbols from American currency into portals for inquiry.
At its core, my art invites viewers to pause and reconnect with the unseen forces that pull, shape, and, perhaps, set us free. Each piece is a moment of reflection—a conversation with the invisible.
