Out There
We each perceive that we are in control of ourselves. For anyone diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable and lifelong disease, it challenges those perceptions of being “in control.” The examination of our relationship to control guides one to question the paradoxes of control.
I invite people to become lost in inquiry as they examine what they are looking at.

Entropy
Exploring the philosophical theory of entropy, I focus on the micro level of change (defined as "what is happening now") and the sum of its parts expressing a macro view of losing control of ones' body. All too often chronic conditions are labeled as disorders – although this can be true from a macro point of view, from a micro point of view it is the mixing of the disorder with the order that creates something new which cannot be reversed.
I create an emotional experience for the viewer that starts with order leading them to the point of chaos and ending with the settling of something new.

Luxate
Our experiences and environments shape our perception of reality. Through them, we form our identities, discover a context for our lives, and learn to navigate myriad of situations. When one is disoriented from an environment, their perception must transform to re-organize reality. My work investigates how we relate to our environment when our experiences fail.

Untitled Place
A short series that plays with Louis Althusser’s essay Ideological Sate Apparatuses – where the idea (image) needs to be concrete enough to be recognizable but abstract enough to be thinkable (viewed) and that gives rise to knowledge (questions).

Multiverse
On the surface, people know who they are – they know their gender, race, and socio-economic status and believe themselves to be morally free. But do people have an intimate understanding of themselves at a moral level, forming who they are, and not based on societal trends?
The floating spheres fill the photograph to act as a focused lens to the figure, signify the mind’s perspective - the "residue" of the experiences one has from the combination of the ego and body.
