STATEMENT

As a visual artist with A.D.D., I’m drawn to moments when the built environment breaks through the monotony of daily life and demands attention. My work explores fragments of the built environment, like signage, decorative façades, breezeblocks, and structural motifs, that carry a sense of regional identity, personality, and human touch. I treat these forms like cultural fossils, reimagining them through saturated color, exaggerated scale, and playful material relationships.

My research examines what happens when the regional and historical specificity of built environments is erased. When places lose their distinctive character, human connection suffers; people feel more isolated, less grounded, and less joyful in their communities. Through my work, I ask how design might restore that sense of connection, and how playful, expressive spaces can invite people to reengage with their surroundings.

In the psychogeographic component to my practice, I walk through cities seeking out moments when the eccentric, overlooked, or nearly obsolete details resist homogenization. These discoveries become the foundation for immersive installations that merge nostalgia, playfulness, and saturated color. With these installations, often arranged like whole environments, I aim for the work to follow you outside the gallery, shifting how you perceive your own built environment, reawakening a sense of curiosity and delight,  and prompting small acts of rediscovery.
