STATEMENT- In this body of work, I work closely with the concept of Stellar Nucleosynthesis, the process through which the elements that make up our universe are formed within stars. The atoms that compose our bodies were once created in stellar interiors, making us, literally, a collection of star dust.
Through these oil, ink, and graphite paintings, I reflect on the shared material foundation of all things. Humans, celestial bodies, and the seemingly inanimate objects around us are built from the same elemental matter. The work considers the closeness of these relationships and invites viewers to contemplate the hidden connections that bind us to one another and to the broader cosmos.
BIO- Mexican Bay Area- based designer combining a background in art education with current experience in architectural drafting. Working across installation, drawing, and painting, my practice explores the amalgamations between self and the collective. The work observes contemporary existence through the interplay of hard shapes, soft elements, and relational space.
