Polaroid Love

Part of an ongoing series exploring the anthropomorphism of objects and the boundaries of alternative photographic techniques, this work merges Polaroid emulsion lifts with stop-motion animation to create a tactile, time-based narrative. Through frame-by-frame manipulation, the Polaroids take on roles of their own—revealing unexpected emotion and interaction within each sequence.

By extending the tactile and temporal qualities of analog materials, I aim to create a dialogue between process and story—where the photographic image is no longer fixed, but alive.

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.

Blending tangible, vintage objects into digital creations that breathe motion back into the stillness.

Video Collage

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.

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.
