What inspires me is how I move through the world.

I often explore alone, not knowing exactly what I’ll find or who I’ll meet. I collect photographs, art, fashion, friendships, memories, and ideas. The spaces I live in, the art I collect, and the details I surround myself with will always inspire me.

By the time I pick up a brush, the painting has already begun.

Thank you Hockney for showing me this as a young aspiring artist. You will always be my muse.

Mutual Power: Feedback
I’ve been thinking about power not as something we hold, but something we move through each other. In this piece, each figure becomes part of a system—receiving, transmitting, and responding to what passes through them. Power doesn’t move in a single direction—it loops, breaks, and reshapes itself through relationships.
It’s not equal. It’s not fixed. And it doesn’t always return. This work explores how individuals act within larger systems, where some exchanges are mutual, some are interrupted, and others never come back at all. What happens when power is not returned?
What happens when someone remains outside the system entirely?
