The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma- Patrick Star

My creative practice focuses on making wearable art and topics that revolve around the body and the grotesque, but I'm just here to create all things fun and whimsy.

I know, 2026

These are self portraits

Otherworldly costumes and videos embrace the terms "creature" and "freak" as a playful and unapologetic statement, using exaggerated forms and edits to challenge the boundaries of the body and societal norms, and as a way to explore my evolving understanding of gender and identity.

I aim for a whimsical and deranged aesthetic, blending playful and unsettling elements through exaggerated forms, layered textures, and patterns. The intentional imperfections celebrate raw self-expression and challenge the things we push away to feel secure. The costumes are more than just objects; they are essential characters that come to life in my moving images, allowing the presentation to evolve freely and intuitively as I edit. Ultimately, each piece embodies a part of me, reflecting my imagination and the self while celebrating a joyful, messy, and authentic freedom of expression – a self portrait.
