    &
    taking flight 






    My creative work takes on both traditional and digital forms, often favouring contemporary practices while embracing concept design. Encompassing the environment and atmosphere in symbiosis with a character, my pieces display themes of identity, transformation, the unconscious, and a balance in nature. I remain inspired by scientific perspectives revolving earthly cycles and organic matter, obsessions that materialize conceptually in my work by reflecting one’s relationship with the self and the environment — both in realistic and surrealistic forms.

    These works are reflections of the human experience — and a desire to escape from a confining reality. Attempting to challenge the growing industrial market and its pull on society, I hope to highlight certain limiting beliefs that keep individuals’ worth secondary to, and burdened by, machines, possessions, and other consumption rhetoric.
