My work is about emotional components of spaces. There is emptiness, loneliness, and an anticipation. Wandering around in the darkness, looking at houses that emanate curiosity, and concentrating onto the small sections of places that are filled with artificial lights are the elements that aid my expression.

When decay is hidden in the shadows and a luminous glow becomes evident from darkness, I feel this contrast between brightness and darkness creates just the right moments for me to capture. Exploring these spaces and to see through to another narrative with my camera gratifies me and challenges me to enter these spaces.

When the sun goes down, and time passes into midnight, and artificial lights illuminate the world, I go across the boundaries to alternate narratives: void of humans, enigmatic spaces, and reflections of artificial light. These areas stimulate my visual senses to think about what is and what is not.
