My work is shaped by a lifelong practice of prayer—one that has continually evolved in form, focus, and meaning—and by a deep immersion in psychology, spirituality, language, and the ways we construct meaning. I am particularly drawn to the fleeting, recursive patterns of self-talk, inner dialogue, memory, and imagination that shape human experience. At the heart of these explorations lies a persistent longing for connection and understanding, and an enduring fascination with how we make sense of our inner and shared worlds. I am drawn to the paradox of a world saturated with language—where words are everywhere, yet meaning so often breaks down.

Across painting, works on paper, and photography, I explore this tension through illegible text, repetition, layered color, abstract calligraphy, redaction, masking, and digital distortion. I work with ink, markers, acrylic, mica, vinyl paint, and rubber cement resist, building surfaces that are simultaneously constructed and disrupted. In my photographic work, I layer drawings and paintings with textures and fragments from the observable world, creating palimpsests in which accumulated layers generate new ways of seeing

Asemic writing—marks that resemble language but carry no fixed meaning—is central to my practice. As an antidote to the digitization of communication, it foregrounds the trace of the human hand. The act of writing connects me to the ancient human impulse to make marks—to record, count, invoke, make contact, and be understood. Although my asemic writing cannot be read conventionally, it retains the urgency of communication and is a means of visualizing my inner dialogue.

By obscuring and reworking textual forms within dense, shifting layers, I seek to give form to a language that exists beneath words and across cultures. In this space of illegibility, viewers are invited into an active process of searching, deciphering, and constructing meaning. The work asks to be felt as much as read, opening a shared space of reflection grounded in my deepest belief: that we are more alike than different.
