My art practice challenges social and linguistic constructs in the United States through precisely crafted artworks organized into collections.
MessageA slim vertical rod bisects the composition, interrupting the concentric logic of the central form—part target, part schematic, part warning. Offset in scale and placement, the embedded image feels both marginal and magnetic, as though annotation has become the main event. Tubing spirals around a red core, echoing medical or mechanical systems, while the framing structure reinscribes hierarchy. This is a diagram of something urgent but withheld—a footnote that asserts its presence, destabilizing the narrative it was meant to support.
