My works focus upon several themes such as climate change, consumerism, adulthood, and ephemerality. I draw my inspirations from the natural forms and elements around me and use them to create conversations and ask questions about the passing of time, humanity, and the natural world. I believe that it's important to understand the relationship between actions and consequences and I often find the need to create art that reflects the social and environmental problems within our current time and beyond.

My proposed line of work will cover the topic of climate change in the context of how it has affected the environment, endangered species, and us as humans. Within this diverse series of works, I look to utilize clay as my primary medium to bring rise to conversations that encompass ongoing issues such the California wildfires, the melting of the Arctic, greenhouse emissions and the steady decline of certain wildlife populations as a result of habitat loss. I chose to pursue this topic as I am passionate about conservation and sustainability, believing that we all have a responsibility to uphold in both raising awareness and taking action in the war against climate change.

My works will center around several abstract and representational forms that borrow from the organic shapes and nuances of the natural world and are combined with the familiar aesthetics of man-made objects to create dynamic narratives about human impact. I do not look to romanticize the topic but instead present us with stark but truthful imagery that reflects upon the changing of the environment with elements of decay and abrupt chaos existing alongside the otherwise peaceful cadence of nature. Between the juxtaposition of calm and chaos, I convey the feelings of loss and concern within both living and inanimate forms which serve as a dire warning for what the future may look like not just for the endangered wildlife but also us and the future generations moving forward.

I have also been fascinated with studying consumer culture and the effects that it has left upon our society, especially the younger generation. Our desire to consume new products has been an especially prominent topic in the contemporary sphere as technology advances, making access to the outside world more convenient than before. I look to study narratives and raise questions about our consumer culture with representational works that depict man-made objects that are intertwined with figurative forms and playful humor as a means of both highlighting and reexamining the capitalist system and how it has negatively affected our mental wellbeing. I believe that, in a sense, we have become products ourselves as a result of our consumer culture that is heavily influenced by those who hold the most power for themselves.
