Engraved Aluminum Panel, 2026

Self-Portrait I Sculpture


Free-Standing Life Size Sculptural Artwork

Designed & fabricated In-House

Materials: Ceramic, Fabric, Wood, Steel, 3D-Printed Resin, Rope

Dimensions: Approx 6 Feet Tall, 2ft Wide


In this work various different materials, shapes, colors, and textures come together to create a roughly human-sized complex and detailed physical structure mirroring our own expansive self- perceptions of ourselves. This sculpture is meant to be explored fully by walking around it and viewing it from all sides and angles. 

Different semi-translucent materials are used as what I call “Objects of Obfuscation”, whose purpose is to obfuscate, or obscure the view to a true inner object or being. In the case of this sculpture the inner ceramic object is representational of the true “inner-being”, while the Objects of Obfuscation are representative of both the walls and layers we metaphorically create around ourselves, knowingly or unknowingly, to shy away from the pure gaze of our outside world; and also the layers of subjective altered-perceptions those in our external world place upon us, again, knowingly or unknowingly.

16 Self-Portrait Photographs

This artwork consists of a series of 16 self-portrait photographs taken during a period of emotional distress due to the realities of living in a contemporary/capitalist society with a neurodivergent mindbody, specifically ADHD.



Agar Agar Untitled Diptych, 2024



Dimensions: 5ft Tall, 2.5Ft Wide


    This sculpture is a mixed-form artwork combining improvised blind contour engravings with Agar Agar seaweed-based bioplastic shapes/colors and utilitarianly minded structural and lighting elements. 

    The pigmented bioplastic and engravings create a layered composition whose inspiration comes from an ongoing personal exploration into the relationships, communications, and transmutations that we as a society have with the elements that we deem to be in control of or reigning over us, i.e., religion, god, fame, money, status, etc.
