American White Man
This body of work challenges toxic masculinity and white male supremacy through two parallel approaches: Whitewashed Drawings that reveal men in states of isolation and emotional absence, and Black Drawings that confront the fear, trauma, and violence embodied in moments drawn from social conflict. Using erasure, abrasion, and stark reduction, these images expose identities shaped by suppression, power, and inherited silence. Across both series, the artist reimagines American masculinity as vulnerable and uncertain, grounded in the ongoing unlearning of conditioning that has long equated feeling with weakness.

Brother Be Gone
Born from the trauma of losing his closest friend to cancer, these graphite drawings depict isolated, fragmented figures suspended between presence and absence, reflecting the emotional turbulence and disintegration that accompanies profound loss. As the work evolved to explore broader losses like children leaving home, fading youth, and vanished possibilities, the figures embody both vulnerability and quiet resilience, creating space for open conversation about grief's capacity to devastate and transform.
