About

I am drawn to the spaces in-between, where things are unclear and identity changes. My work is rooted in moments, memories, and perspectives that resist permanence. I am attracted to the fleeting nature of life, exploring how presence and meaning often emerge in what is passing. Through ephemeral materials, shifting forms, and layered visuals, I aim to evoke a sense of stillness and reflection. In embracing the transient, I seek not to preserve, but to honor the fragility of what cannot last. 

 

As a saxophonist, I have come to recognize that my instrument exists in a similar context to my studio practice. The saxophone mirrors my own experience of not quite fitting in. I have spent years chasing a place that did not seem to exist, in communities, artwork, and ensembles. What began as a feeling of exclusion slowly transformed into a creative lens. The space of not-belonging became fertile ground for my studio work. 

 

I aim to reclaim transience, not as something to be solved, but as something to be reconciled with. Through concept, material, and perception, I aspire to investigate my metaphorical connection to the saxophone. It is too classical for jazz. Too jazz for classical. Too loud, too soft, too much. As I acknowledge the relationship between myself, my instrument, and the feeling of not-belonging, I have come to understand, we are voices that never quite settle.

 

 Like a melody fading into silence, my practice enters the unknown. In embracing the transitory, I find acceptance in the idea that meaning is not fixed but continually unfolding. My work invites viewers to sit with the ephemeral, to listen to the silence between notes, and to recognize that art, music, and self exist in perpetual motion.
