I am a photographic illustrator, writer, and emerging artist-curator based in Baltimore, Maryland, and New York City. Apart from an MFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design, I have a background in political science and studio art. My work merges critical theory with visual experimentation and blends interdisciplinary research in children’s literature, bookmaking, and the history of photography. These interests shape my exploration of visually depicting memory and perception through image making.

Working in media ranging from digital and analog collage to sculpture, text, and sound, I explore the way memory, longing, and the subconscious shape our perception of time and space. My practice reimagines photography as not only a document of truth but also as a site of reconstruction where the past and present and the real and imagined all collapse into one.

Though rooted in photography, my work is disassociated from a traditional role of documenting reality. I treat the image as a layered construct of memory, fiction, and subtext. By combining manipulated stock imagery with original photographs, I create visual narratives that move fluidly between a dream state, memory, and lived experience.

A central question examined in my work is the way in which memories are formed, stored, and reanimated. In a recent installation of six large-scale photo tableaus, I follow the story of a friendship that I began in college. In the work, I revisit the night we met as a way of exploring how the mind processes love and longing. I attached to a white canvas found digital images resembling places and objects associated with our friendship next to photographs of my own body moving through space. The series pieces together visual landscapes that feel familiar yet fragmented—what I describe as “how it feels to long for someone who is no longer there.”
