My social art practice uses photography as a tool for connection, healing, and transformation. At its core, this work is about seeing — truly seeing — individuals and communities who are often overlooked or misrepresented, and offering space for their stories, presence, and power to be reflected with care.

Through large-scale participatory projects, installations, and collaborations with nonprofits and civic partners, I create visual experiences that center human dignity and shared belonging. These projects often emerge in response to specific community needs, histories, or transitions, and are rooted in deep listening and mutual respect.

Whether I’m photographing families in temporary housing, elders sharing ancestral knowledge, or youth envisioning futures beyond barriers, my aim is to co-create art that honors lived experience and helps people feel seen.

Much of this work lives in public space — wheatpasted on walls, installed on buildings, shared in community centers — because I believe art should be accessible and integrated into daily life. I use layered imagery, portraits, and text to invite people into a shared moment of recognition and resonance.

These social art projects are both personal and collective. They speak to our longing to belong, to be witnessed, and to be part of something greater than ourselves.
