Personal Projects

A collection of works reflecting my personal feelings surrounding the current genocide in Palestine, the war in Ukraine, and the over whelming abuse of power of the elite and upper class here in the United States.

A collection of repurposed wood pieces transformed into new artworks, portraying characters and abstraction reflecting my style.
