Selected Works

Statement

Selected photographs and independent works that document the evolution of my visual language and ongoing themes. 

Man dancing beside a vintage table with a glowing champagne glass, wrapped in swirling golden flames in a surreal interior scene.
Queer femme standing in a vintage movie theater aisle in a red jacket and boots, while a glamorous alter-ego appears on the cinema screen behind her under a glowing moon.
Queer fine art photograph of male figures in a mystical forest with glowing purple light, ritual gestures, and surreal fantasy elements.
Androgynous male figure in pale blue corset and thigh-high black boots stands in an ornate room by a candlelit table holding a glowing heart, moon and stars visible through a window behind him.
A young woman in black sits in a graffiti-covered, abandoned hallway, wearing tall platform boots and holding a bottle labeled “Drink Me.” Wisps of smoke drift around her while lightning flashes through broken windows, evoking a dark, modern reimagining of *Alice in Wonderland*.
Collage-style queer fine art scene inside an ornate bedroom where three androgynous figures in white and red fashion poses interact across layered diagonals; one reclines on a carpet, one floats in a translucent panel, and one sits on a lavish bed amid glowing light flares and surreal color overlays.
A masked, androgynous figure in blue and yellow briefs and matching armbands rides a mechanical crocodile against a vivid red radial background. Dozens of metallic crocodiles swirl in a kaleidoscopic pattern around the central figure, with beams of white light and drifting mist cutting through the scene, creating a surreal, high-energy, queer fantasy tableau.
A glamorous gender-fluid figure in thigh-high black boots and sparkling lingerie poses theatrically in a richly decorated boudoir, splashed with flowing milk and neon light; in the background, a second figure lounges in a red canopy bed, creating a surreal, camp, and decadent vision of queer fantasy and desire.
A stylized portrait of a model reclining on a curved wooden spiral staircase, wearing thigh-high black boots and jewelry. Warm golden light fills the ornate interior while glowing particles float in the air, and framed artworks line the walls, creating a theatrical, dreamlike atmosphere.
A shirtless winged figure with metallic bat-like wings rises from a glowing industrial machine, surrounded by sparks and blue-lit machinery, blending angelic symbolism with futuristic steampunk elements.
A person in white briefs and a black latex top sits on an ornate red sofa in a gold patterned room, offering colorful jelly beans while another figure watches from the foreground; floating candy and rainbow light effects create a playful, surreal atmosphere.
Androgenous person with short curly hair and purple lipstick kneels on a rock beside a forest stream at night, wearing metallic purple opera gloves and a flower tucked behind one ear. Sparkling light effects shimmer across the water, reflecting their image beneath a starry sky and crescent moon.
A person in blue gloves and a cropped military-style jacket sits on red desert sand beneath a glowing moon and palm silhouettes. A translucent classical statue looms nearby while floating symbols and cosmic shapes glow in the crimson night sky, with a pistol resting on the ground in the foreground.
Two queer figures pose in a dim living room with a fireplace: one sits on the floor in black boots and sheer ruffled top beside a curved blade, while another stands in red thigh-high boots and lingerie with a large white lily covering their face. Soft rainbow light flares float across the scene.
Androgynous performer in white platform boots and sculptural corset stands in a lavish red-and-gold baroque interior as a swirling arc of water wraps around their body. A chandelier glows overhead, a gilded mirror and classical statue appear in the background, and neon light flares add surreal color to the theatrical queer scene.
