MAY ‘24
A piece that mirrors the journey of an artist, embodied by a pearl formed within the protective embrace of a shell. Just as the pearl is shaped through a process of self defense, artists are forged by the pressures of family, society, and experience, while the vast ocean represents the unpredictable forces of life- grief, loss, and transformation. The depth of the sea reflects the internal battle of self-doubt and worthiness, yet the true calling of the artist is to understand these forces, break free from the shell that once contained them, and emerge as something fully realized- both fragile and luminous, shaped by struggle and resilience.
Commissioned for “The World Needs Your Art” Project.

A replica of an iPod shuffle touchpad, symbolizing the overstimulation and paralysis of choice in the digital age. With media constantly bombarding us, the piece asks: How do we filter through the noise and return to ourselves? It is a reflection on the artists childhood, in contrasts today’s overwhelming flood on content with a time that felt simpler- when fewer choices allows for deeper presence and clarity.
