I create art to aid in the discovery of myself as an individual in the world; for artistic processes allow me to unearth my identity. My intention as an artist is to produce pieces that have self-healing and therapeutic properties.
I create art because it is my medicine. It is my goal to produce this medicine for others in the process.

Bayshore, Cry to Me Your Significance
Bayshore, Cry to Me Your Significance
When Hurricane Katrina struck, my mother and I moved to Fairhope, Alabama and rented home after home. Of all the places we moved to, our most cherished home was on Pensacola Avenue. We called this home “the green house” because of its vibrant olive paint. We visited the property not long ago, only, what we remembered of the home was cleared physically and the house was no longer in existence. It was a saddening experience for the both of us, but it was interesting to see how the rememory of the home still existed in the space of our minds regardless of its physical absence. The place found in this film memoir was discovered by my mother and I, and we ventured to it often—for it provided a space in which we could allow our minds to be free in the midst of all of the chaos back in Louisiana.The narrative is set on a secluded beach, and one must descend down a sum of a stairs and venture through a forest, leading to the mouth of the bayshore...
Native Wood Microscopics
Native Wood Microscopics
This image is an exhibition of found pieces of driftwood. In a separate document, there are educated inferences on their native origins, possible paths of travel, and species. While my original plan was to also record the ages of the wood samples, I realized that it would be of my best interest to focus on categorizing them without the age since I lacked an adequate carbon dating kit. The samples were gathered at a shore of the Mobile Bay in Fairhope. I intended to execute a local study in New Orleans, but considering the water levels of the Mississippi, there wouldn’t be a significant abundance of wood—if not, any.
Following the accumulation of the samples, the process of analysis relied on a microscope, knife, and a Canon EOS 700D/Rebel T5i DSLR. The first few layers of wood were cut to expose the internal layers. These areas were then placed under the microscope, of which the samples were recorded using a camera. Naked eye images were also taken along with the microscope images in order to identify which images were affiliated with each other.
A table of the samples was created using Adobe Photoshop and the samples were identified in a document.
