My practice revolves around queerness as a state of transformation, an embodied resistance to rigidity. Working primarily with photography, I use material experimentation, visual allegory, and fluid forms to explore how the body becomes a site of instability, desire, and refusal. I’m particularly drawn to the symbolism of surfaces, the material and object the photo resides in, leading to my exploration of differing printing methods, how to dissolve the barrier in traditional photography to bring the audience into the realm I create within the photographs. Through staged photographs and constructed objects, I build images that sit between allure and this rupture, never fully graspable.

Photography is my core medium, but I often integrate unconventional surfaces, sculptural processes, and installation techniques. I work with materials like latex, ice, metal, and jigsaw puzzles to reflect themes of fragmentation and reassembly. My figures are typically veiled, submerged, or transformed, suggesting the body as a hybrid signal, both exposed and a warning. I approach queerness not just as identity, but as a way of seeing and making, slippery and resistant to definition.

Influenced by writers like Leo Bersani and Ocean Vuong, my work challenges viewers to consider the beautiful and the monstrous not as opposites, but as entangled. In doing so, I aim to create images that speak to the tenderness and volatility of being seen engaging in the spirituality and irony of belief and queerness, to wholly submerge yourself in something invisible yet a part of you.
