ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a visual artist, poet, musician, and essayist.

My work combines deep philosophical reflection with the grittiness and urgency of the present.

I create visceral and intense worlds that critically analyze the broken realities in which we live.

I explore: the psychological implications of the unprecedented rise of social media;

the blurring of lines between reality and the hyperreality of technology;

the double-edged sword that is artificial intelligence;

the cultural fragmentation of a globally integrated world;

the branding and curation of self identity;

the philosophical indifference of a world drowning in mindless entertainment;

the endless scrolling through sponsored information and loaded imagery;

the mass paranoia of disinformation;

the politicization of every corner of society;

the power that really pulls the strings.
