The work in on this page stems from my time in graduate school at Penn West University (Edinboro University when I was there) to about 2019, where I was exploring the idea of absence, presence, and the impermanence of life as we know it. Some underlying themes of memory and nostalgia were brewing, which fuels where I am today.
