THE PROCESS

My work is rooted in transformation—of material, image, and meaning. In my photographic practice, I employ a technique I call hyper-sharpening: a meticulous process of enhancing surface detail through hand-embellishment. Each image is printed on fine art paper, then deepened with acrylic to intensify contrast, enrich black tones, and introduce a subtle dimensional presence that moves the work beyond documentation into object.

In my assemblage sculptures, I work with aged rail line materials—wood, iron, and industrial remnants—carrying the physical history of labor and time. These elements are cut, welded, and reconfigured into forms that balance weight and tension, creating compositions that speak to endurance, industry, and the human condition.
