Artist Statement

My work explores the relationship between acquired synesthesia and romance tourism. With influences as diverse as Caravaggio and Borges, new variations are distilled from both opaque and transparent dialogues.

Ever since I was a zygon zygote, I have been fascinated by the ephemeral understanding of the moment. What starts out as hope soon becomes corrupted into a dialectic of defeat, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the dawn of a new beginning.

As temporal forms become frozen through diligent and repetitive practice, the viewer is left with a hymn to the darkness of our days.
