Through this project I communicate the impact of the recent ICE raids in the US on immigrants by creating a portrait out of zip ties.
Blanket Fort
Blanket Fort is an installation piece inspired by the childhood forts my sister and I used to make.
How I am Now
I made this painting in one sitting to cover up what was previously on the canvas.
Revelation
Revelation grew out of a slow, hands-on process that started with making my own tools through OakGall Inc.

Self Portrait of Me
This self-portrait is of me in my own art style, featuring a blocky background.

This piece is a homage to the Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th century, specifically the way visual design and intricate linework were used to frame their subjects.
