About

Life is a series of instances between birth and death. I embrace the inevitability of loss as a fundamental to life. I am an expressor, an explorer, a maker, and a connector.

Since my exposure to the microcosm of molecular and cell biology, I have been a lover of small things: moss; molecules; moments between breath.

I work with geometry in my creative practices, often leaning into circles and spirals as motifs for continuity, rhythmicity and adaptability.
