Where I Get to Express Myself
INDEPENDENT WORKS
Beyond client work, creativity has always been my way of making sense of the world. This collection brings together photography, painting, fashion, installation, and personal experimentation, projects created not to solve a brief, but to explore identity, emotion, and the stories that continue to shape my artistic voice.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The Alternative Immaculate (2025)
Medium: Photography with Projection Mapping
“The Alternative Immaculate” is a photographic self-portrait series examining my experience as a queer man raised in the Catholic church. It grapples with themes of shame, identity, and reclamation through the symbolic use of Bible scripture and projection. Using a 16th-century English Bible; Galatians Chapter 11; this series confronts the contradiction in religious doctrine that claims gender is divinely assigned, while the scripture itself proclaims it obsolete in the eyes of the Lord. Through projection, lighting, and symbolism, this work challenges institutional interpretations of holiness and queerness.
Carnal Paradigms (2026)
35MM FILM PRINTS DEVELOPED WITH SABATTIER EFFECT
Carnal Paradigms explores the tension between desire, intimacy, and the ways we perform identity through the body. Combining fashion-inspired portraiture with dramatic lighting and surreal composition, the series examines vulnerability not as weakness, but as a form of agency. The photographs invite viewers to question where sensuality ends and self-expression begins, blurring the boundaries between performance, personhood, and perception.
Iconography of the American Hypermasc (2025)
Medium: Photography with Projection Mapping
Influenced by queer theory, Americana, and editorial photography, The Iconography of the American Hypermasc deconstructs the symbols traditionally associated with American masculinity. By reframing familiar imagery through exaggerated portraiture and deliberate visual storytelling, the series investigates the relationship between gender performance, power, and identity, asking whether masculinity is something we inherit, construct, or simply learn to perform.
PAINTING
Bryce (2026)
ACRYLIC GOUACHE ON BRISTOL PAPER - VARIOUS DIMENSIONS
This collection documents the emotional evolution of my relationship with my partner, Bryce, through a series of acrylic gouache paintings created across multiple formats and dimensions. Early works are saturated with bold primary colors, reflecting the intensity, excitement, and beautiful uncertainty of falling in love. As the relationship matured, softer greys, muted palettes, and quieter compositions emerged, representing the comfort, stability, and sense of home that gradually replaced uncertainty. Together, the series becomes less about romance itself and more about the ways love reshapes our understanding of vulnerability, security, and belonging.
MISCELLANEOUS
Some works are the beginning of something larger. Others are complete simply because they exist. This collection serves as an open archive of photographs, paintings, fashion concepts, and experimental pieces created throughout my artistic journey, moments of curiosity, play, and reflection that don't belong to a single narrative but remain essential to understanding the evolution of my work.
