I create photographs to tell stories I feel, capturing moments, emotions, and meaning through every frame I choose to share.

Photography is my favorite art form; I also love collage. Blending my photography into collage takes my work to another level, adding depth, layers, and new meaning to every image I create.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from movies, television, and music, often moved by scenes, sounds, and emotions I want to reinterpret in my own way. The work of other artists also fuels my creativity, pushing me to explore new perspectives. Currently events and what’s going on around me can also be a source of inspiration in helping me create a piece to make a statement.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to invest in my art by upgrading my photography equipment and expanding my ability to print my work on a larger scale. This support would also allow me to travel and bring my work to new audiences across different parts of the country, helping me grow creatively and professionally.
