Artist Statement:

Living in a society of oversaturation and overstimulation, the world can feel a bit loud. My process as an artist requires a prioritized relationship distinguishing my own internal voice from all other noise. My creative process, using self-imposed rules prohibiting social media use, revealed my long-standing dependency on this technology as a form of escapism. Through this work, I question the fundamental experience of endless visual entertainment, influence, and all-encompassing distraction.
