Studio Work

Visual explorations in black, white, and the tension of negative space—through painting, drawing, and material-based experiments.

Collaboration

Projects developed in dialogue with cultural brands, musicians, and publishers—across image-making, direction, and applied forms.

Artist Books

Independent publications produced under my imprint, own pace, combining text and image to extend the language of my work.
