Temporal & Energy Paintings

My expanded painting practice uses time-travel as a speculative methodology—not to imagine the future, but to collapse timelines and melt visual languages. I call this process temporal smelting: a refining of imagery and cultural debris pulled from time and space. 

Rather than staging contrast, I fuse overlapping visual motifs into abstraction, working through nostalgia—sometimes critiquing it, sometimes indulging it. I explores how memory, media, and digital culture allow timelines to loop, merge, and crash.

My current source material emerges from personal hyper-fixations shaped by a deluge of algorithmic content. The newest works draw from cybersigilist tattoos shaped by Y2K aesthetics, waveform structures, and depictions of psychic energy in manga and comic panels. These motifs merge with typographic languages from metal, pop-punk, and rave subcultures.

Through this remixing, I explore time travel and conjures emotional afterimages of adolescence—where anger, joy, and memory collide.
