color, shape & second chances.
I can lose myself beachcombing. There’s a calming joy in collecting and organizing discarded objects spit back to shore by the ocean. I arrange them by shape, color, and hue—then reimagine their purpose through stop-motion. I know I’m not alone in finding bliss this way.
Portrait of the Shermans
portrait collage
Part of an ongoing portrait series that explores the intersection of analog photography and experimental filmmaking.
It begins with a portrait shot on film and developed onto watercolor paper brushed with light-sensitive emulsion. Afterward, the image is digitally dissected, layered, and brought to life as a moving portrait—blurring the line between analog and digital.
grain + pixel
Blending tangible, vintage objects into digital creations that breathe motion back into the stillness.
state faiR cameos
The State Fair of Texas is a sensory goldmine: neon lights, bold textures, overheard conversations, and the full spectrum of scents. These passing cameos become part of my visual archive. I capture them in video snippets and rework them into layered, collage-style pieces that feel like memory fragments—colorful, chaotic, and unmistakably human.
For the love of Polaroid.
Part of an ongoing series exploring the anthropomorphism of objects and the boundaries of alternative photographic techniques.
In this body of work, I combine Polaroid emulsion lifts with stop-motion animation to craft a unique visual experience. Through the physical manipulation of each image by frame-by-frame movement, the Polaroids take on roles—becoming characters in their own right. This process revealed an unexpected emotional depth; the photographs began to interact not only visually, but emotionally, as if engaged in a silent narrative.
By pushing the tactile and temporal qualities of these analog materials, I aim to create a dialogue between process and story—between object and emotion. What emerges is a fleeting but intimate performance where the photographic image is no longer static, but alive.
