STATEMENT OF WORK

In my artistic exploration, I delve deep into the intricate world of human communication, shedding light on the overwhelming influx of content that bombards us daily. Through thought-provoking and satirical commentary, I question the relevance and impact of this constant inundation, pushing us to confront the very essence of time, media, and technology while evoking feelings of anxiety. My work aims to challenge our inherent resistance to real change, urging us to reconsider our relationships with these powerful forces that shape our lives.

I blend natural and designed systems to craft captivating metaphors that invite us to reflect on our interconnectedness and how it influences our understanding and behavior. Central to my creative vision is the profound effect that technology has on our psyche, guiding my image choices, metaphors, and titles with a keen eye towards this technological influence.

With sardonic humor, I carefully render "Braintestines," visually capturing the struggle of information overload, as if our minds are writhing under the weight of excessive data, while simultaneously excreting a flowing, sticky mass of obsolete technology. These abject images serve as a powerful reminder of how we grapple with the constant barrage of information in the digital age.

In my e-waste encased "Time Capsules," I contemplate how time is spent immersed in technology and media engagement. With looping videos displayed on screens, I examine what truly captures our attention and consumes our precious time.

My profound appreciation for language is expressed through my carefully drafted charcoal "Rebus" drawings, where I conjure up sociopolitical controversies. These intricate drawings present us with puzzles to decipher, encouraging us to navigate through layers of information and resist the allure of meaningless rabbit holes that often distract from purposeful existence.

Ultimately, my artistic intent showcases an intellectual and emotionally charged journey through the complexities of human interaction and technological influence. Through my art, I urge us to question, reflect, and challenge ourselves, aiming to prompt meaningful dialogue and introspection.
