Works exploring pressure, restraint, and psychological proximity.

Drawing, photography, and digital processes are treated as material rather than medium.

Pink Self Portrait

Oil stick and oil pastel on paper.

Built through layered accumulation, the figure carries a second presence beneath the surface. Stipple, gesture, and pressure allow the body to emerge not as a single image, but as multiple states held in tension.

Graphite Noir

Digitally authored images developed through processes of accumulation, compression, reconstruction, and translation. Photography, drawing, memory, and digital intervention are treated as material, producing works that exist between observation and invention.

Authored AI-assisted digital prints.

Dre and Roman

Constructed Portraits

Digitally authored portraits developed from composite photographic references.

City Images

Digitally authored works developed from original photographic observations. Drawing, photography, and digital processes are treated as material, producing images that exist between observation, memory, and intervention.

From original photographic studies.

Field Notes

Photographs made while moving through the city–pauses, interruptions, fragments. These images function as a visual notebook: a way of tracking light, surface, rhythm, and mood as they appear, disappear, and reappear across daily life.

LIGHT STUDY: ASCENSION

A study of vertical movement, luminous gesture, and the city’s upward momentum.

INTERVENTIONS

The City Writes Back.

The city is never finished.

Paint peels. Stickers accumulate. Graffiti spreads across signs and scaffolding. Sidewalks record every repair, every crossing, every season. Infrastructure becomes a surface for anonymous authorship.

These photographs are studies of marks left behind—small acts of interruption that transform ordinary objects into evidence of human presence.

The City Was Already Pink

Made during the development of Between Rage and Serenity, these photographs follow a small self-portrait card through New York. Carried from neighborhood to neighborhood, the image was repeatedly encountered in unexpected alignments of color, light, signage, architecture, and atmosphere. Less a documentation project than a field study, the series traces the realization that the exhibition’s visual language was already present in the city itself.

Held Force

Held Force

Charcoal on paper

Forms accumulate through pressure and containment.

Marks, erased and reasserted build a field where force is held in place.

The image resists resolution, settling between structure and collapse.
