Artist Statement 

 As an artist, I always strive to create a narrative around every piece of art I make. The motivation of my work is creating a space that combines visual intrigue and emotional introspection . I love working with compositions, and in the majority of my photographic works I tend to utilize a foundation of basic compositional rules as jumping off points for unique compositions. Aesthetically, I find that empty space and a lack of subjects allows the viewer to insert themselves into the environments I photograph. In my video work, the depth of every frame is the connective tissue of everything I make, filling the foreground and background accordingly. Thematically, I strive to create characters from all walks of life. While inserting aspects of my own life experiences is inevitable, making these characters relatable to myself and to others is a main focus of my work.
