A Note on These Photos (and a Mother's Pride)
My Mom Died Christmas Eve-Eve 2014.
You may notice that a lot of the photos here are dark, blurry, or completely unedited. Truth be told, polishing this whole archive is going to take me ages — but I couldn't stand keeping them tucked away in the meantime.
Most of these shots are dedicated to my mom.
They hold onto the messy, beautiful moments we got to share. What looks to most people like just a dark sky with a thin red streak was, to us, the thrill of standing out in the rain, swatting mosquitoes two hours past sunset. And like any good mom, she was convinced her kid had a real gift behind the camera. Her passion for pink clouds, her excitement over my ambiguous illusions, her thrill for the adventure, no matter what the weather, she never stayed inside during a lightning storm, is exactly why nearly every photo I took found its way onto this site.
Oh, so many hazy filtered photos were shot through a screen while hunkering down for a storm. These unedited, imperfect images stand in for love, laughter, and memories too precious to sit around waiting for the perfect edit. Thanks for bearing with me as I work through them bit by bit — and thanks for stepping into these memories alongside us.

Sun FX Ambiguous illusions are optical designs that present two or more distinct, stable interpretations. The physical stimulus remains unchanged, yet the brain experiences spontaneous perceptual reversals. This phenomenon is driven by multistable perception, where the visual system switches back and forth between competing interpretations.
One image, two truths.
One photograph holds two distinct coexisting narratives.
Sunset photography meets conceptual illusion.
Integrating sunset photography with conceptual art and ambiguous illusions transforms a cliché landscape into a mind-bending puzzle. By subverting how the brain processes light, silhouettes, and depth,I create images that contain two distinct meanings simultaneously.
Conceptual art approach often exploring themes of obsession, repetition, perception, and the "hand-made" versus the mass-produced. Conceptual art, minimalism, or pop art exhibitions where repetition is used to explore themes of identity, production, and perception. While the viewer sees near-identical items, the artist often views them as distinct, whether through microscopic differences, the passage of time during creation, or the psychological intent behind them.
"My work exists in the space between what is there and what you think you see. By destabilizing familiar forms, I invite you to negotiate meaning. The art is not on the canvas; it happens inside your brain."
