Artist statement: 

I create layered fabric collages inspired by film, games, and pop culture - stories that shaped the way I see the world. Working with hand-cut fabric on canvas, I translate familiar imagery into bold, graphic pop art compositions.

My work explores storytelling as a shared visual language. I’m drawn to iconic moments and characters because they carry collective meaning, but I enjoy reinterpreting them through a playful lens of fabric and pattern.

Ultimately, I want my work to feel accessible and inviting - recognizable at first glance, but rewarding on closer inspection. These pieces celebrate the joy of storytelling and the way images from film, games, and pop culture continue to resonate, connect, and evolve.
