Once Upon A Time

My main focus in this project was creating vignettes in abandoned places to juxtapose the decay.

Artist Statement

My work uses digital photography with elements of interior and floral design to create to create imaginative scenes of queer portraiture and urban decay. Influenced by K Enagonio, Madeleine LeMieux, and Jess T. Dugan. Using urban exploration and drag to create correlations between the neglected structures reclaimed by nature, and the queer body’s reclamation of identity, I create vibrant tableau of gender performance, celebrated in the crumbling structures of oppression.
