STATEMENT

I am an analog collagist combining vintage and modern imagery to address contemporary political themes. Drawing on my background in political science, I use collage to respond to current events, visually and narratively chronicling developments during the Trump second administration. Since January 20, 2025, I have produced analog collages using watercolor paper, magazines, and political mailings, each accompanied by written reflections. My aim is to capture the trends, historic events, and public sentiment of this presidency, offering viewers a visual record that encourages reflection on the American political landscape.
