My work delves into the fragility and fleeting nature of time and memory. I'm fascinated by the way moments—both intimate and shared—transform as they fade and fracture, leaving behind echoes that linger in unexpected ways. Through my practice, I invite reflection, encouraging the viewer to tap into their own memories and emotions. In a fast-moving, chaotic world, these acts of connection and meaning become acts of quiet resistance—reminders of what truly anchors us.

Through painting, I abstract imagery from current events, blending it with influences from art history—such as the light and composition of the Renaissance and the emotional resonance found in Romanticism and Abstract Expressionism—exploring how moments dissolve, creating a dialogue between the fleeting present and the resonant traces of the past.

Through drawing, I turn to simplicity to evoke time's quiet presence, using bare winter trees as silent witnesses to its steady passage. Their stillness reflects the subtle, persistent imprint of memory, offering a moment of pause in an ever-changing world.

In installation and object-based work, I expand on the themes of impermanence and restoration, inviting reflection on the transience of time and memory.

​

Across these disciplines, my practice is united by a desire to reflect on the fragility of the present and the enduring trace of memory. I seek to create moments of quiet reflection—an invitation to pause and reconnect with the shifting, layered nature of time.
