My work explores how images shape belief and how belief shapes identity. Working across drawing, painting, and mixed media, I use the figure as a site where personal memory intersects with larger cultural forces. Through revision, erasure, and reconstruction, images emerge slowly, retaining traces of uncertainty, change, and lived experience.
Recent work develops through two interconnected series: POP and flock.
POP examines the flood of images that define contemporary life—from animation and popular culture to digital media and personal memory. By fragmenting and reassembling familiar forms, the work reveals how visual culture quietly influences desire, perception, and our understanding of reality.
flock investigates the formation of collective belief. Drawing on the visual languages of religion, politics, nationalism, celebrity, and mass media, the work considers how symbols, rituals, and shared narratives create belonging while also reinforcing division. At its core, the project reflects on the tension between individual autonomy and collective identity, asking how communities can foster connection without collapsing into dogma, tribalism, or cults of personality.
Across both series, I am interested in the power of images not simply to reflect the world, but to shape it. Through the deliberate slowness of drawing and painting, I create spaces for reflection within an increasingly accelerated visual culture.
