"Most of my work consists of visual references on my personal experiences. The images in my work will present places without names, experiences which bypass the senses and proceed directly to the psyche, in which viewers may locate themselves with the use of a shifting taxonomy of emotional resonance. Any signs indicating real space are only points of departure revealing where one is not…trace the relationship between human destiny and destination and finds the state of longing (to belong) a singular place to be at the moment."
