I am interested in fantastical narratives and the unsettling truths they often conceal. In stories ranging from ancient religious texts to science fiction and fairy tales, societal expectations masquerade as unyielding moral principles. The presence of these expectations in both real and fantasy realms reinforces the deception, and the continuity locks us in reverie. Through my sculptural and time-based vignettes, I reveal cracks in the spellbound beauty of fantasy worlds, as assertions of control struggle to maintain the appearance of innocence and propriety.

In my practice, themes of brutality, exploitation, and loss of control emerge within meticulously crafted worlds of cinematic pomp. Using fantastical imagery and traditional cinematic techniques, I capture viewers' attention, while using materials imbued with a look of bodily distress to introduce a discordant element into the implied narratives. This combination of spectacle and discomfort invites viewers to reflect on the construction of comfortable narratives and the often dismal nature of our grand aspirations.
