My work portrays a sense of longing for what is inaccessible and out of reach. Physical and emotional disconnection from others is depicted as physical distance over space and time. I begin my research by looking at photo and video archives of my local or transcontinental travel history, and the resulting patterns, and images that connote both place and passage. The visual elements of that data are fragmented and then reconstructed into a new form. Those layered and collaged elements portray the way that memories are fractured and altered.
