My current body of artwork is deeply inspired by the concept of cellular memory. I am fascinated by the idea that within each cell of our bodies lies a record of our entire history, We are linked to our past, present, & future on a molecular level including the experiences and emotions that have shaped us. This idea is reflected in my use of a core cell as a building block for creating pattern, structure, and color in my art how that pattern of a singular cell comes together creates a unique design.

.

In my work, I use the core cell as a metaphor for the foundation of our existence. By repeating and manipulating this core cell, I create intricate patterns and design structures that represent the interconnectedness and complexity of life. The repetition of the cell also speaks to the cyclical nature of existence and the constant evolution and change that we experience.

The color choices in my pieces are also deeply connected to the concept of cellular memory. I use bold and vibrant hues to represent the emotions and experiences that shape us and the memories that we carry with us. The color palettes I choose for my work are intended to evoke a sense of history, personality, and change, reflecting the idea that we are constantly evolving and growing. My work is deeply rooted in the exploration of color. These elements have the power to evoke powerful emotions and create an emotional connection with the viewer.

I am particularly drawn to the way color can create a sense of infinite memory and limitless possibilities. I strive to capture the feeling of the infinite and perpetual in my work, the idea that there is always more to discover and explore.

The core cell, pattern, structure, and color all work together to create a sense of interconnectedness and continuity. I hope that my work inspires viewers to think about the role of core memory and evokes experiential recognition in shaping who we are and the world around us. My goal is to create art that is not only visually striking but also thought-provoking and emotionally impactful and memorable.
