I am interested in exploring the duality of the human condition caught between the tangible material world and the intangible world of ideas. My practice touches upon philosophical concepts related to existentialism, absurdism, and phenomenology. Aesthetically, I am often drawn to mystic and esoteric symbology, and my compositions stand out for a strong storytelling element. I am currently developing a series that uses the imagery of vessels to represent the physical body as a container of consciousness.
