Artist Statement:

Inheritance is a meditation on desire, memory, and the weight of objects. A hand, pale and preserved, reaches toward a ring that glimmers with too much meaning—beauty, status, legacy, maybe loss. Butterflies hover, like ghosts or watchers. Behind them, the brushstroke blurs history, and the frame suggests we’re seeing a captured moment—or perhaps a staged one.

Nothing here is alive, and yet everything pretends to be. That is the illusion of inheritance—not what we gain, but what we carry.

Artist Statement:

Some truths crown us.

Others bury us.

This piece explores the moment between insight and surrender—

where knowledge becomes too large to carry, yet too familiar to leave behind.

The figure is draped not in fabric,

but in memory—

threaded through with the weight of meaning

never fully spoken aloud.

He bows not in defeat,

but in reverence.

This is not mourning.

This is stillness at the edge of transformation.

Artist Statement:

There’s power in not reacting. And there’s danger in what that stillness hides.

“He Wasn’t the One Who Cleaned It Up” is a study in silent aftermath. The Lamb doesn’t flee. He doesn’t fix his collar. He walks forward, stained but unfazed.

The mask is no longer ironic. It’s absolute.

I made this to explore the moment when consequence stops feeling like consequence and becomes routine.

Artist Statement:

We All Come Up Eventually is an invocation of memory that never belonged to you, but somehow lives in your spine. The submerged feminine forms drift between states: are they surfacing from the unconscious, or dissolving into it? The gelatinous orbs neither fully alive nor convincingly inert float in clusters like forgotten origins.

This piece is part of the #10000HourProject and continues my exploration of the divine grotesque. It plays with the dichotomy of fluid and static, sacred and synthetic. Inspired by my own discomfort with beauty as a performed state, the work stages an aesthetic that is equal parts altar and autopsy.

To me, this is what rebirth actually looks like. Messy. Mournful. More echo than event.

Artist Statement:

“Threshold No. 3”

This piece investigates the architecture of decision. Three spheres represent the remnants of choice — red not as danger, but as attention, as refusal to vanish. The lone figure stands not at the end, but on the seam between what was selected and what was surrendered.
