I work mainly from photographs because I can pull from the candid, real-life actions of people. Most of my imagery comes from picture I take or find at parties, clubs and other events. Finding intricacies in the faces, poses and body language is most interesting to me. What I love, however, is the relationships: the similarities and the differences between the figures in the compositions. Some figures are posing, aware that they are being watched; some are flirting or smiling while other figures are completely entranced in the music. It is a feeling of celebration and unity that I want to portray where everyone relates to one another in some way whether they are vibing to the same beat, singing to the same song or laughing and enjoying life.

In my work, I want the figures to become the atmosphere. I scale and layer the figures over one another sometimes creating a believable space and at other times creating crowded atmospheres that are more ambiguous. I want the viewer to feel as if they can get lost within my crowds, the energy and the vibe.
