I create art to capture the world's beauty and craft thought-provoking, stark realities that force us to confront our shared humanity.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create thought-provoking conceptual photography, using digital editing techniques and aggressive color grading to bring complex, unspoken narratives to life.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from the tension between the visible and the hidden. My work is about pushing past the immediate, obvious layer of reality to reveal the latent possibilities and deeper narratives just waiting beneath the surface.
What would you do with $25,000?The majority of it will go into my daughter's savings account for college.
