Organic Automation

This work explores the tension between the rigid, precise nature of algorithmic and automated processes, and the inherently unpredictable and organic properties of analog mediums like watercolor. I have used computer code and a a pen plotter to generate the initial grid of lines, which gradually become more irregular and chaotic; this chaos is mimed through the usage of the watercolors. The result is a visually striking interplay between machine-like precision and the fluid, naturalistic strokes on the right, hinting at the delicate balance between technology and the organic touch.

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.
