COMPOSITES
Walking perspectives in nature, shaped through instant film.
This body of work uses instant film, building composite Polaroids that expand the medium beyond a single frame. My work is fragmented yet focused—walking perspectives that trace the natural world, and abstract studies where collage and juxtaposition open new ways of seeing. I explore ways of creating imagery with camera-less photography (photograms) as well as using digital mediums to push the source material and aesthetic detail.

Polaroid Corp. commission for rollout of new film type
The making of a full composite commission for Polaroid, where I construct large-scale imagery piece by piece. Each frame is a fragment; together they form something larger, unexpected, and whole.

Colour Mania (Colors May Vary)
Green with envy. Feeling blue. White lies. Grey areas. In every language spoken on earth human beings use colors to express themselves. World-renowned author, Vladimir Nabokov, claimed he could hear color and actually assigned a color to each letter of the alphabet based on each letter's particular sound. The Eskimos of the Polar Regions have countless words that uniquely describe the color white.
In the world of graphics some designers have devoted their entire body of work to one color, sometimes showing it off in all of its full-bodied glory, sometimes stripping it back to its barest essentials.
Colour Mania brings together an eclectic group of talented designers who have one thing in common: they are artists who simply can't get enough of one particular color - be that red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black or white. This book offers a depth of understanding of individual colors that is unprecedented.

Polaroid Composites from the Subway
For this series, I used New York City subway advertisements as raw material, reimagining them through a rare Polaroid macro dental camera. Shooting close-ups of eyes, mouths, ears, and textures, I fragmented the original messages into smaller parts.
Back in the studio, I composed the fragments into large-scale composites, where new faces and narratives emerged from the remnants of mass advertising. What was once fleeting commercial noise became something more uncanny, intimate, and human.
