“Most of my work is rooted in nostalgia and the senses. Nostalgia being this burden of painful and romantic memories that is always evolving and bleeding together. That type of discomfort is unique to me, because the senses become almost unreliable. On the other hand, living with an autistic brain allows me to be hyper-affected by sensory stimuli, especially color and light, so they tend to leave a lasting impression and become a part of me in a way. These factors coalesce into what I call “the soup” of my brain, and magically dream themselves into little soap operas that I put into the world. I like to think of it as a magical process in a general sense, or at least a romantic one.”
