Art, for me, began as a necessity—an outlet during lockdown to carry grief and unspoken trauma (a story I’m not yet ready to share), to ease the weight of feeling overwhelmed, and to scream quietly through the chaos of being unseen and misunderstood. What started in anonymity, hidden behind Venetian masks, evolved into a visceral body of work that confronts the emotional distortion of modern life. Souls for Salaries and its continuation, Echoes Within, are deeply rooted in my own experience of corporate existence—questioning the cost of conformity, the erosion of identity, and the machinery we’re pulled into without consent.​

 

My work explores the fragile personas of those trapped within this system, capturing the surreal, sometimes grotesque imbalance between appearance and truth. Using ink, pencil, spray paint, cardboard, and shaped canvas, I create pieces that often distort form through 3D textures and improvised mark-making. Each piece begins without a plan—the pen or brush simply moves. This automatic process allows unconscious emotion to rise to the surface unfiltered.

Whether on canvas, paper, or skateboard decks, my intention remains the same: to expose what lies beneath the surface, to challenge the systems that silence us, and to offer viewers a glimpse into the raw, unedited reality of being.
