I build miniature worlds through abstract paintings that examine reality through a philosophical lens. Grounded in my lived experience, I alchemize emotions into colorful paintings and intricate linework to challenge our human understanding of reality. Eyeball motifs are often present among the organic forms not as an embellishment, but as presence. Eyes animate the canvas itself, allowing it to look back at the viewer in an exchange of awareness: you perceive the painting, and the painting perceives you. This reciprocity transforms a still illustration into an alive entity. I also often work with audio artists to visualize sounds from concerts, albums, or studio sessions into a tangible form. I encourage viewers to self reflect on what it means to be alive by emphasizing the importance of deliberately noticing details in these illustrations and, more importantly, in everyday life.
