Art has the power to shift perspective, creating spaces where Black and Brown people exist beyond public opinion and into the abstraction of free thought. My work highlights lives often overlooked, seemingly minor to the world, yet irreplaceable in their own communities. Their absence would expose the systems they sustain. We are all invaluable, and we all fit.
Raised in a blue-collar family, of builders, farmers, root doctors and village cooks. I've developed a deep respect for labor, particularly the work of Black and Brown hands. This labor, often unseen, blindly shaping history and culture. A decade spent in construction has influenced my practice, incorporating materials like wood, metal, steel, denim, and leather elements that define the act of building. My process mirrors the precision of structural integrity, while also capturing the grit and rawness of labor, the conditions, the sweat. Iām interested in how this rawness collides with the refinement of art, creating a tension that feels truer to the world as it is: both visceral and serene.
