I am a Chicago-based artist collecting visual narratives as I travel between the Midwest and West Coast. As a multicultural transplant to Chicago from Los Angeles, I am interested in understanding the overarching structures that define American life. My photographs depict scenes of the everyday, focusing on the aesthetics of late-stage capitalism and exploring themes of isolation, accessibility, and representation. Through digital manipulation and image sequencing, I construct ambiguous narratives that transcend individual identity and defy direct placement. I highlight the irony of everyday life by engaging with a range of subjects: from politics to the understanding of an object.
