Artist's Statement:
My concert photography intends to capture the raw emotions and expressions of both the audience and artists. Using my Canon camera, I strive to connect with viewers, making them feel as if they’ve experienced the event or wish they had.
Artist's Statement:
Emotional Maze is a two-room video installation exploring the complexity of my feelings and how they overlap, shift and build. Using light, sound and movement, my videos invite viewers to move through a layered experience of both visible and quiet emotions.
Artist's Statement:
Nature’s Medicine shows the intertwined intersections between nature’s profound healing abilities and the complexities of the human experience of health and wellness, particularly through the lens of botanical and medicinal plants. Through these images, it is my hope that the viewer can see a glimpse of hope of healing their own bodies and can walk away wanting to choose natural healing over prescription healing.
