This need to understand our landscapes and the emotional connection we have to nature while simultaneously destroying it takes up many of my waking hours. Years filled with protest, political unrest, and community have shown me the polarity of our world, but have also emboldened me to seek the devotion and tenderness people have for others. My work continues to comment on the tumult of life in the time of Covid, natural disasters, and the constant attack on human rights. Utilizing nature, landscape, political rhetoric, and personal/borrowed text, my aim is to relay the power our surroundings have on us while simultaneously sharing the intimacy of angst, loss, and our relationships to others.
