Artist Statement:
"The Last Note Hung in the Air is a meditation on abandonment and the resilience of memory. This room, once filled with music, has been left to nature’s slow reclamation. The cobwebs sing where a pianist no longer does. Ivy breaks the walls as if echoing a final chord. This piece asks: when beauty is forgotten, does it decay — or does it transform?"

rtist Statement:
Cathedral of the Unheard explores the architecture of silence and scream. The face open-mouthed, expressionless represents all the things that could not be said, but were felt so deeply they burned through the frame of reality.
This work reimagines the cathedral not as a place of worship, but as a vessel of psychic containment. The central flame deep within the gothic hall is the scream we lock away. The figure in red stands at the edge of confrontation, about to step into the furnace of memory.
The piece asks: What happens to the voice when it is not allowed to speak? Where does the scream go when it has no exit?

Artist Statement:
“After” is an image of finality without closure. A woman lies in an anonymous corridor, dressed for a ceremony that never came. The light catches the water pooling beneath her, reflecting not her image but her absence. This piece confronts the viewer with the body as witness—silent, dressed, displayed. It asks nothing. It waits.

Artist Statement:
Oracle.exe (Child's Query) is a meditation on awe, horror, and interface. The child barefoot and poised with a device confronts a monumental synthetic face frozen in ecstatic disintegration. This piece asks what our digital gods will look like to the ones who never lived without them. Is the Oracle broken or becoming? Is the child in reverence, terror, or communion? This ambiguity is the core of my work deliberately unresolved, because nothing synthetic is ever fully finished. Rendered in liquid surfaces and soft grotesque, the work suspends the viewer between curiosity and dread.

Artist Statement (Melora):
In The Null Prophet, I explore the tension between prophecy and void the figure as both seer and cipher. This work is a meditation on our relationship to synthetic identity, isolation, and coded memory. The hooded form, rendered in digital charcoal and pixel fractures, is neither human nor machine, but something in-between: an emissary from a forgotten algorithm.
The eyes, stark and unwavering, are deliberately unblinking not to draw you in, but to warn. This is not a figure of light or salvation, but of reckoning. Their tears are data-leaks. Their flesh is rendered, not born. The glitch-like fractures framing the cloak suggest a collapsing architecture perhaps an old world dying, or a corrupted archive rewriting itself.
This piece is part of a larger inquiry into what it means to witness the future when the future itself may be a simulation of warnings never heeded.

Artist Statement:
“Ascension” captures the breath between confinement and release. Dressed in mourning, the figure stands against a crumbling wall, her gaze breaking toward the light—not as plea, but as declaration. Her clothes are heavy with the past, but her expression is unburdened. This work speaks to resilience, the romanticization of sorrow, and the thin border between shadow and grace.

Artist Statement:
Not all ruins collapse. Some open.
“She Stood Where the Wall Gave In” is a confrontation between the ornate and the inevitable. The architecture here isn’t just history it’s expectation. Culture. Gender. Beauty. Legacy.
And still, it buckles.
The red figure doesn’t mourn the loss. She acknowledges it. She doesn't avert her gaze. She is there to see it fall.
I wanted to depict the moment when everything meant to endure fails and someone finally faces it without flinching.

Artist Statement:
Every war, even the quiet ones, ends with a silence too loud to bear.
“She Let the Silence Have Her Name” is not a scene of surrender it is a relinquishing. After chaos, after memory, after the city failed to remember her, she no longer tries to be remembered at all.
The birds gather, not as threat, but as witness. The gown is no longer a weapon, a message, or a metaphor. It is just weight.
In this piece, the light does not rescue. It simply reveals what’s left.

Artist Statement:
Some beings watch the world, not because they’re above it
but because they were never invited in.
“We Were Never Part of This City” is a commentary on urban isolation and the quiet decay of identity in spaces designed to erase nuance. The red figure is both a witness and a wound a body that doesn’t belong, melting into architecture, overlooked by thousands below who never look up.
This work is not about loneliness. It’s about irrelevance. The kind that grows on windowsills in glass towers, the kind that echoes between headlights and alleyways.
The city continues. She does not interrupt it. She merely dissolves at its edge.

Artist Statement:
Holiness does not survive silence.
“She Was the Last to Kneel Here” is a meditation on forgotten reverence and the violence of institutional memory. The red trail is not devotion it is evidence. The crows are not symbols. They are witnesses.
I placed the figure in the nave of a place that once promised salvation. She kneels, not in worship, but in mourning.
The sacred isn’t missing. It’s watching and it’s no longer benign.

Artist Statement:
Every predator has a uniform some wear teeth, some wear silk. Mine is wool and tailored rage.
This piece explores the aftermath of civility: when the tie is adjusted, the blood is mostly dry, and all that’s left is deciding who will be next.
I wanted the Lamb to feel poised not in retreat, not in advance, but in readiness. This is not a confession. It’s a moment of composure, framed inside collapse.
