Back in 2019, when I made the decision to step away from my studio and immerse myself in the world of computer programming, it felt like plunging into the unknown. Fast forward to today, the landscape of my life has transformed in myriad ways. Welcoming my beautiful daughter into the world, grappling with fertility challenges that led me through countless hospital visits, and navigating through four different homes before finding solace in a place I now call home, far from the familiar streets of Bushwick BK where my studio once stood alongside my art.
These experiences have left an indelible mark on my perspective, shaping the trajectory of my current body of work. I find myself pondering the intricate tapestry of existence, delving into the essence of what it means to be human. What defines my personal universe? Can the act of simplifying complexity illuminate the essence of life, offering insights into my own identity? Surrounded by an ever-expanding array of technologies, I contemplate whether modern living truly facilitates a smoother journey. My current work, a blend of abstract drawings and manipulated photography are rich with symbols and textures, exploring the interplay between abstract realms, symbols, and the nature of being human in a digital age.
