"Thousands upon thousands of trivial moments that meant nothing and every significant experience captured on tape are replicated in memory. I explore the intricate relationship between memory and malleable materials, exploring the nostalgic terrain of my childhood influenced by novelty, media and the colorful, kitschy culture that shaped my adolescence."
"Blending imagination and dedication, a cosplayer brings their favorite fictional characters to life. Cosplay, a word blended from “costume” and “play,” is a performance art in which participants create and wear costumes to represent a specific character from literature or film. Since I attended my first fan convention in 2004, I’ve been fascinated by the world of cosplay. Cosplay is an act of devotion and creativity. It is my quest to capture these acts in portraiture."
