My artistic expression addresses the intricate, bittersweet navigation of being a queer Black individual in America. Growing up on the border of Compton and Los Angeles, my practice began as a vital survival tool to navigate environmental hardships and local gang violence. Having witnessed the devastating impacts of that violence firsthand, I learned that art is an absolute necessity for Black and Brown youth—offering a powerful, non-traditional visual language to process trauma, express complex emotions, and heal.

Visually defined by a bold, graphic 2D animation style, I construct a stylized universe that intentionally centers and celebrates Black identity, diverse skin tones, queer culture, and multi-dimensional femininity. My creations seek to uplift, empower, and center communities that are systematically misrepresented or erased in modern media and contemporary art institutions.

Operating with limited access to traditional art supplies from a young age, I resourcefully embrace unconventional mediums, recycled textiles, and everyday found objects—ranging from clay, wire, and domestic tile to yarn, sequins, charms, human hair, and interactive magnetic canvases. This material limitation allows my work to embody a distinct aesthetic I define as "ghetto fabulousness." This style blends my queerness with authentic street style to boldly challenge monolithic perceptions of what it means to be Black, while unapologetically centering joy, glamour, and survival.

Ultimately, my art serves as a deliberate vehicle for positive reframing. My work acts as the ultimate silver lining, transforming deep collective trauma and personal hardships into a testament of resilience. This therapeutic approach to collective art-making is absolutely vital for survival, healing, and thriving as a queer Black man living in America today.
