In my work, I create a reality and abstraction by putting together printed images of common places and objects, and layers of sculptures I make out of Plexiglas, artificial flowers, and more printed photographs. These layers I add to my printed images create a 3D effect that may sometimes distort, interfere, or transform the original print. Everything in my studio is photographed and put together digitally or physically. My final prints are continuously being rephotographed and used around my studio to create new sets of images that have a pleasurable feeling. In a way that there is tranquility and absence of noise, yet it whispers quietly to the viewer. I want my work to express itself in this matter because in the present day, it is difficult for me to find tranquility in this world. I find myself surrounded by chaos and conflict, whether if it is on the news, or in my life. The art I make is the source of peacefulness and tranquility I cherish.
