Artist Statement: 

My work centers on the beauty of the everyday, exploring how the mundane objects of our lives hold power as cultural artifacts and emotional touchstones. Through the lens of minimalist pop art photography, I seek to celebrate simplicity while infusing nostalgia and whimsy into the ordinary.

I focus my camera on subjects often overlooked as art: Mold-A-Rama figures, vintage lunchboxes, and humble plastic toys like green army men. These items, steeped in history and memory, tell stories of mass production, childhood imagination, and fleeting trends. By isolating them in clean compositions and stripping away distractions, I elevate their design to center stage, using photography techniques that allow the subjects to be displayed in extra-large formats making the familiar seem fresh and extraordinary.

With every shot, I aim to provoke an interplay of humor, nostalgia, and reverence, honoring the imperfections and charm of what might otherwise be considered throwaway treasures.
