Fossil to Flesh
Together these works enact an alchemical passage: from fossil to flesh. From trauma frozen in silence to trauma unearthed, embodied, and finally transmuted into sovereignty through performance. In the final act, painting, photography, and movement converge. Silence becomes song. Grief becomes sovereignty. Fossil becomes flesh.
Fossil to Flesh will be shown in galleries across the country as a traveling art show. For those who want to live with my work day-to-day, find my other pieces here — intimate inspiration and soft nudges toward your own becoming.
The Wounded Masculine & Feminine
The early works — The Wounded Masculine and Feminine — were painted on monumental wooden panels, echoing permanence and fossilization. Inspired by Hellenistic and Roman sculptures, they immortalized wounds that were unspoken, calcified into form. These paintings became cultural fossils: artifacts of both collective trauma and my own unacknowledged silence.
The Mirror Series
A work-in-progress, The Mirror Series arises now, at the scale of full-length mirrors and rendered in realism. Each canvas embodies a stage of my life: baby, child, teenager, adult, and the integrated self. They are excavations, unearthing what was buried, showing how trauma remains in the body until it is faced and transformed.
