My photo-collages transform ordinary moments into captivating constellations that unveil dreams and memories, inviting viewers to connect with each character and weave their own stories from whimsical narratives. By interplaying various media to capture storytelling, I harness the power of imagination, embracing the beauty of the moments that shape our identities.
Art Creation Journey
Voyaging
The journey of my artwork begins with discovering backgrounds for my collages. I keep my camera ready, embracing unexpected detours that reveal hidden gems in small towns. Engaging with locals allows me to hear their stories as I travel widely to find unique locations. Through my lens, I capture the magical realism of each place, transforming ordinary scenes into extraordinary narratives. Photography was my first medium, sparking my passion for exploration & Road trips.
Storytelling
After reviewing the photographs captured throughout the year, I select each one as a vibrant backdrop for my collages. Storytelling is my superpower, intertwined with the unique narratives of every place I photograph, revealing a sense of magical realism in ordinary spaces. As I weave these visual tales, I delve into the enchanting stories of our childhood games, where every element and character springs from playful imagination. Through my artwork, I transform these snapshots into portals that resonate with our inner child, inviting viewers to rediscover the joy and wonder woven into both memory and landscape.
Layering
With each photograph and the story I aim to develop, I breathe life into characters through intricate cutouts and drawings, inspired by the narratives that ignite my imagination. Collage becomes a beautiful medium, like a puzzle where various elements come together to weave a cohesive story. In my studio, I print these components, select the perfect frames, and encase them in resin to preserve their essence. Each piece is enriched with individual stories, seamlessly connecting the enchanting photography with the whimsical characters within my worlds.
