The images in this body of work compose a disparate range of subjects: psychological experiments, a homemade talk show, mirrors which serve as a portal to a world of converging images, and a generic lawn chair, broken and remade into an alien signifier, among others. These all are scenes of desire, imagination, and creativity embedded in but isolated from, a fractured real.

The spaces in my work are characterized by their alterity. The characters mirror what I seek as an artist, the desire to connect with each other and engage the construction of worlds.
