Familiar Faces
2024

Acrylic and Marker Mixed Media Painting

16 x 20 inches

  • Do you recognize these familiar faces? These are the faces that come to my mind, either masking or revealing how we truly feel. How does sex, drugs, and money change how you see the world–both superficially and internally? Do these vices have a stronger pull on us than we first assume, or are we blissfully ignorant?

Clean Series
2023

Photography by Viana Nguyen

Modeled by Kevin Lemus

  • In this photographic series, the shower becomes both a sanctuary and a stage for emotional contradiction. The model is caught between tension and release; his eyes heavy with stress, yet limbs softened in surrender. Clean explores the quiet duality of this intimate space: a place where we confront our exhaustion, rinse away the weight of the day, and emerge–if only briefly–renewed. Here, cleansing is not just physical, but emotional. The water becomes a witness to our unraveling and our restoration.

Echoes of Elsewhere

Echoes of Elsewhere

Mixed Media Collage Inkjet Photograph on Luster

18 x 32 inches

  • This collage is a meditation on identity as a collection of fragments: quotes, photographs, magazine clippings, and glimpses of places come together to map the self. Each element serves as a memory trigger for places once visited, a phrase once heard, a face once known. These pieces are not random; they are residues of experience, absorbed and carried forward. Through the layering of visual and textual fragments, the work speaks to how we come to know ourselves not in isolation, but through others in what we have seen, felt, and shared. It is this patchwork of memory and influence that a fuller picture of the self begins to emerge.
