Icon explores the transformation of the human figure into a distilled, symbolic presence. Through reduction, repetition, and controlled variation, these works move away from individual identity toward something more archetypal—where the figure operates as both image and sign. The result is a tension between recognition and abstraction, inviting a slower, more focused way of looking.
Protagonist develops through accumulated experience, informed by time spent across different places and contexts. The work moves between figuration and abstraction, using gesture and surface to construct and disrupt the figure simultaneously. Rather than depicting fixed identities, the paintings explore instability—where personal and shared histories intersect, fragment, and recombine.

Available: InquirePerceptualism is based on the idea that our perceptions are abstract representations of the truth, this series references the gap between the real and the perceived by combining disparate imagery and painting styles and effectively distorting the spatial relationships between people and environment. These paintings depict moments on the verge of change in which semi-coherent narrative is used to embody a larger span of time and meaning. Transparency and masking reveal layers of paint, highlighting the art-making process as a subject in itself. The works are often partially incomplete, compelling the viewer to engage with the work in an act of their own creation, thereby completing the work.
