"This project focuses on reflections. I want to play with the viewer's mind and make them take a second look at the photograph and have them dissect how the images were made. In a way, I am trying to express how the past year has affected me personally. I want to appear in the photographs but have the focus not be on me and have it be on the other subject that is accompanying me in the image. By using props and backgrounds with vivid colors you can see my personality is reflected in all the images. But the abstraction of the reflections and the disorientation you get while looking at the pictures reflects how I really feel and where my thoughts are right now."

"The "Blue World" is my escape. Its creation performs as a portal into my mind. I transform my environment into a realm of fantasy, a plane I can freely explore. Blue engulfs the subject on its journey, highlighting the trace of their presence left behind, as mine is when creating.

Hidden and repressed emotions become distorted, ripped, and sewn into the paper. Through creation and destruction, there is recovery. Using fragile materials allows me to accept that every piece will not be perfect in its deterioration. Working instinctually without hesitation enables me to be vulnerable when speaking about my mental health. I create a safe space for myself and others to feel understood and heard. There is no judgment or shame with the color blue; it is calm and alluring. Blue holds my secrets and, in many different forms, has always been a part of my life."
