My work explores the immaterial and spiritual phenomenon of love, human connection and friendship. It oscillates between abstraction and figuration, depicting fantastical underwater and natural scenes comprised of microcosms, ecological patterns and ornamentation.

This hybridization of biological patterns and adornment visually explores Phileo, the Ancient Greek Philosophical definition for the love of friendship. From this philosohical perspective, it is our close friends that hold great significance in the make up of who we are as a person. It is these friendships and mutualistic relationships that give value to life, an ancient notion still holding relevance in the contemporary world.
