Artist Statement

My artistic practice explores the intricate web of socio-economic systems that shape our daily lives, intertwining themes of landscape, caregiving, and the frenetic pace of contemporary media consumption. Moving fluidly between painting, drawing, collage, and installation, my work reflects the chaotic nature of modern media. By appropriating motifs from social media, pop culture, and technological schematics, I interrogate how imagery and information are processed in today's hyperconnected world. My work often delves into particular subsections of these themes, spawning spin-off series that allow for focused curation of specific narratives. Through this, I aim to confront viewers with the psychological impacts of technological residue, provoking critical reflection on the complexities of our fears, dreams, and realities in the digital age.
