I am stepping away from the real and creating objects that lose functionality but are a metaphor for hope, memory, and environment.

The objects produced are removed from their original seed of inspiration and live in a future space where freshness is prioritized over truth. And where color and playfulness are the languages needed to be understood.

I land on the details of shore and ocean, open markets, long pool days, and family’s mango-wet hands in the backyard. I sway between memories of the personal and public spaces and desire to bring the same feeling of longing and nostalgia to the viewer. These environments help shape our development--interiors and exteriors communicating with one another; they impact our evolving personality, habits, and sense of cultural identity. I intend to bring the essence of these spaces into tidy, organized presentations, untouched from reality.
