Much of my work explores juxtaposition, the relationship between things that seem ordinary and the deeper meaning they quietly carry. I’m interested in what we overlook: weeds dismissed as unwanted, familiar roads passed without thought, common objects and places, and the everyday visual language that shapes memory and identity. By isolating these subjects and translating them into silhouette and shadow, I try to give them a new sense of importance and presence.

There is also a strong pull between tradition and modern life in my work. Paper cutting is an old art form with deep folk roots, and I love using that historic craft to speak about contemporary themes, humor, culture, and personal reflection. Some pieces lean into beauty and stillness, while others carry irony or social commentary, but all of them are rooted in observation and in finding value where people might not expect it.

Under the name JUXTAP, that idea of contrast remains at the center: familiar subjects seen from unfamiliar perspectives, the ephemeral and fleeting made permanent and tangible, and overlooked things made worthy of attention. My work is an invitation to pause, look closer, and reconsider what deserves to be seen.

Every piece is created by slowly and meticulously cutting out a single piece of paper by hand with a craft knife.
