STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I blend digital and analog collage to create surreal, layered narratives that reimagine vintage imagery in playful yet thought-provoking ways. Drawing from my deep love for magazines\u2014an obsession that began in my pre-teen years\u2014I source visuals from old magazines, postcards, and advertisements, constructing dreamlike scenes that center femininity, relationships, and adventure. My work reflects a nostalgia for eras I never lived through, breathing new life into forgotten fragments of print culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through texture, color, and composition, I reinterpret the past to create something entirely new, inviting viewers to reconsider the familiar and question reality. While I\u2019ve primarily worked in print, I\u2019m eager to expand into larger-scale projects, gallery exhibitions, and editorial features, continuing to transform the old into something fresh, resonant, and alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
