Fluid Grace

This mixed-media artwork merges the ethereal beauty of cyanotype with the precision of digital drawing. The base image captures a male ballet dancer from behind in a moment of self-reflection, his hand gently resting on his shoulder. The cyanotype process introduces an element of unpredictability through water spots, creating areas of varying intensity that add depth and texture to the piece.
Overlaying this dreamy blue backdrop is a computer-generated 'ribbon' shape, plotted with multiple lines. This addition introduces a contemporary, geometric element that contrasts with and complements the organic form of the dancer. The ribbon's fluid lines echo the grace of the ballet pose, creating a visual dialogue between the two components of the artwork.
The juxtaposition of the historical cyanotype process with modern digital drawing techniques speaks to the evolution of artistic methods, while the subject matter itself - a dancer in a moment of quiet introspection - adds a timeless, human element to the piece.

As someone who inhabits a unique inter-sectional identity (queer, gay, refugee, immigrant, poc, multilingual, etc), I am fascinated in what makes us US.

What are the individual facets of our identity and how these are translated into the stories we tell.
You see, identity isn't a single thing, but rather all the little things that contribute to an individual self.
Who are your role models in life? Which socio-political ideologies do you live by?
Or something as simple as what is your favorite pizza topping?

My images explore these ideas through a uniquely clean and controlled approach to artistic practice.
I always aim to create simple, yet impactful, images.
