THE CLOSER YOU LOOK THE MORE YOU SEE

Mixed Media Collage

Through birds, hands, and human anatomy, I explore living systems at different scales—how natural and human forms are structured, connected, and sustained. Drawing from vintage scientific illustrations, I create works using torn and layered wallpaper alongside painted, atmospheric backgrounds that allow form to emerge gradually.

Wallpaper—familiar and domestic—becomes skin, plumage, and landscape, while paint introduces light, breath, and space. Together, these elements invite nostalgia and wonder while revealing the quiet structures and rhythms that shape our relationship to the natural world.
