In 2024, I found myself haunted by the images I had once created. I didn’t know what I was doing when I made this series. After finishing Welcome To The Roaring 20s, I felt lost. My earlier work had been intense — theatrical, surreal, unsettling — and in 2024, I couldn’t connect to any of it anymore. I didn’t know who I was as an artist or what was my next transformation. In the beginning of 2024 I started a new series called STRONG but abandoned it halfway through. That became a pattern: starting things, then letting them go.

This work came from what was left.
The first image I made was Fragments left me wandering — just me, using my Mac camera, no lights, no plan. It felt different. Honest. From there, I began gathering pieces — images from unfinished work, moments I had let go of, things I thought I’d never use. The first fragment was originally meant for STRONG. I need someone temporarily sweet to me was from a photo shoot in 2023 that never got finished.

What came out of that process was this: a series made of leftovers. Discarded pieces, old selves, uncertain reflections. It’s not a performance. It’s not a character. It’s me, not really knowing what I’m doing — and realizing maybe that’s the work. This series is about getting lost. In memory, in identity, in artistic direction. It’s about starting things and abandoning them. About grieving what I used to make. About feeling like I had to let the clown die.
