The Earth is vast, beautiful, and at times harsh. Humanity, an infinitely creative being, has placed itself above all else and has gradually lost its connection with the Earth. Despite knowing that we are destroying the planet, we continue to do so. Wars rage on, innocent people die, and millions are displaced. It’s enough to make one feel hopeless, powerless, and guilty. These are such enormous problems that seem unsolvable.

My work is dreamy, longing, poetic, often with a sense of stillness, and sometimes heavy and dark. I’m searching for the essence of what I feel and observe. It is small in scale, capturing everyday fragments. You find the grandeur outside. Sitting in silence, listening, watching, and marveling.
