My work is mainly inspired by nature, not by its beauty alone but more so by how destructive humans can be to it. We manufacture countless objects, taking from nature for most of it to end up in landfills as waste. Through this obsession, I find my mediums. I turn toilet paper rolls into flowers and cover them with the remainder of a hole punch. I take everyday objects that are hard to recycle, like paperclips, and turn them into butterflies.

Not limiting myself to one medium helps me narrate to the viewer a deeper meaning to my work. Not only the final result tells a story, but also the medium I chose to portray it with.

I want the viewer to look at these everyday objects from a different point of view. To open a discussion about the things we use on a daily basis and the long-term effects they have, not only on our lives but on all life.

I think of my work as mini time capsules of what most take for granted the beauty of nature and the hidden cost of accessibility and availability of these objects.

A lot of my work embeds these objects in epoxy resin, a toxic man-made plastic. Once catalyzed, the resin is no longer toxic but is permanent, forever holding the beauty of nature firmly in place. Some of my recent work is displayed in shadow boxes, reminiscent of entomological boxes used to preserve and display biological specimens. These pieces highlight what we currently possess, and what needs to be preserved before it too goes extinct.
