I am always coming across unexpected combinations of unusual and ordinary things. Making order and sense out of them becomes an internal challenge that drives my work. I hope to create some balance between the familiar and the unexplored by combining elements together in some harmonious way.

My images and material do have personal meaning, yet the work itself becomes more about the process and the abstraction of elements in hopes of creating a more universal experience.
