My current work deconstructs and reassembles imagery from luxury magazines (the visual language of privilege) to reveal and reimagine cultural ideals of value, wealth, and belonging. The process literally breaks down accepted historical narratives, creating space for alternative narratives too often overlooked. Through abstraction, I explore beauty on my own terms, stripped of artifice and expectation, inviting viewers to see beyond the surface of what society deems desirable.
