My work investigates the power and ambiguity of symbols. Our cultural landscape is built upon a dense network of symbology, from the written word, religious iconography, and everyday street signs, that both informs and diverges from individual experience. I explore how these collective meanings both inform and diverge from individual experience.

Earlier pieces utilized found objects, which I view as remnants and discarded memories of society. Each relic carries a history, a trajectory that led to its final resting place. By embedding these, I excavate the collective past and articulate my internal history. The work becomes a dialogue between cultural residue and personal memory.

This tension between shared and personal meaning is the core of my work. While these objects may hold a shared cultural definition, they also allow for personal reflection. I construct the artwork from these collective signs, filtered through my individual past, knowing that the viewer's reflection will inevitably differ. Our stories are variable, and therefore, our interpretations must be as well. The art becomes a crucial space where personal and cultural histories intersect, inviting the viewer to trace their own connections.

In my recent work, I have incorporated sculpted symbols, focusing on fundamental structure, specifically exploring the hexagon. This shape, referencing the honeycomb and chemical structures, emerged first in my drawings and paintings of the caffeine molecule and neurons. I am now pulling this geometry into three-dimensional space. This evolution allows me to examine the symbol not only as a cultural artifact but also as a universal structure underpinning both nature and culture, and as a foundational element of existence.
