Artist Statement
As a child I spent most of my time in the backyard, immersing and entangling myself in the leaves, branches, grasses, and flowers. I would create forest-like micro environments to hide out in, and endlessly study the details of plant life, wondering how anything could be so naturally perfect. This fascination became a form of escape—a way to curate my own reality away from the everyday built environment.
To this day, I can’t pass a beautiful flower or succulent without pausing in awe to appreciate its natural beauty. Nature continually surprises and moves me, and I aim to evoke these emotions in my work. Through various media, I strive to connect viewers to the perfection of nature, inviting them to feel the same sense of wonder that I experience as an observer of the natural world.
