Throughout my life, starting as early as elementary school, I had constantly struggled with schooling and traditional means of communal learning, which led me to self-taught learning. After two years of trying and struggling with college, I dropped out and began working in entry level jobs while continuing to teach myself about writing, photography, and filmmaking in my spare time.

My work is meant to be both a reflection of my personal life and a coping mechanism for it. Unsure of my future both as an artist and as a person, I seek to find answers in the uncertainty of my life, and to showcase that uncertainty in a way that is often too difficult to portray with just words. Common themes in my work include things I struggle with in everyday life, such as existentialism, alienation, and societal pressure.

In today’s digital age, I’ve found that there has been an increasing amount of artists and content being produced; part of my working process is deliberately designed to eschew the mass production of art that is used to drive algorithms and interactions forward, instead focusing on a methodical and meticulous approach that allows the art to be digested fully before the next piece. Because of this, my art is made as well as posted on a less frequent basis than most of my contemporaries.
