Discarded Americana
This diptych is part of a series of works I’ve made by leaning into observing minute detail and finding playfulness in everyday forgotten objects.
The Temperature We Lost
This artwork shows how human warmth is slowly fading in a world ruled by digital precision.
Under the Surface
In Under the Surface, I want the viewer to realize how pollution, especially oil spills, affects sea life.
In Too Deep
This painting depicts a woman smoking a cigarette underwater, acting as a metaphor for the desperate and dangerous lengths addicts will go to.
King of the Ocean

Summer’s Last Bloom
In this artwork, I used the trumpet creeper, whose flower language includes ‘waiting.’
Yin and Yang and Hatred

Wanbyeogjuui
For this piece I covered generational trauma and the concept of plastic surgery as a graduation gift.

Felix from Stray Kids
Balancing the chaos of senior year often made it difficult to find time to draw, yet drawing had been my refuge since I was three years old.
