My work examines the intersection of culture, time, and habitat through depictions of urban environments. My art captures architecture, landmarks, and cultural elements recognizable to unique communities and neighborhoods. “Beverly Row” is a series of photo illustrations that showcase both the vibrancy of culture and a stark lens on our humanity. The pieces weave together themes of luxury, wealth, and most prominently, the growing issue of homelessness in cities like Los Angeles. The composition of images from Beverly Hills and Skid Row are both known to be inhabited by people on the opposite ends of the class spectrum. The juxtaposition of imagery is a provocative look at the conditions of wealth and inequity in modern cities. The thought and discourse from art can inspire change and the determination to create a better future.
