Incandescent Pores
Photography/Collage, 2025
32 x 40 in
Epson Hot Press paper, UltraChrome inks
Framed with archival materials and museum glass

This work draws from the way petals reflect and scatter light — the iridescent shimmer caused by microscopic structures on their surface. That incandescent quality reminded me of skin and pores.

This piece forms a part of the Alien Landscapes environment, a floating tree, it's roots are formed from orange petals resembling muscle or tissue, while its trunk — a stem covered in small, hair-like prickles — supports four radiant petals that hold this same structural iridescence.

The piece lingers between the organic and the unfamiliar, inviting a closer look to the similarities between the body and nature.

An absolutely amazing evening. Last night felt like a dream, I could not believe the incredible support from my community, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made it! Felt so special to share my work, and even though I was quite nervous to do my talk, it felt great to share a little bit about my process and concepts behind the work 🤍 It was a long journey to get to this moment and I feel so greatful to the amazing people that supported me along the way.

The show will still be open until Oct 21 so feel free to stop into to see it.

Thank you thank you.
