I am interested in cultural and personal symbolism and its relation to the human condition. The human condition is very closely related to human emotions. The key concepts in my work are memory, reflection, loss, and re-invention. I believe the combination of photography, text, and sound best reflects these interests of mixing the media. Because human emotions are so complex and layered, I use colors, dramatic sound, text, and photography to give me a way to represent emotion. combining and layering these processes allows me to show beauty, anger, and sadness in the same piece of work.
