By occupying a space, we are
able to form a connection between past and present. My objective is to
represent the merging of past culture and present identity that occurs when we
interact in urban structures. Architecture can become a historical landmark as
well a space for contemporary culture. As humans, we construct buildings to
suit our needs, create purpose and meaning, and eventually transform to adjust
to new cultural identities. Urban structures can retain elements of history while
providing space for human interaction and community of today. I am interested in
all spaces where people find temporary fulfillment. Community buildings,
apartments, bars, hotels, and homes are places where people might enter and
leave with passing time. I think of my work as a confrontation with nostalgia
as I attempt to create an awareness of the impermanent and constantly evolving
nature of our lives. I use line as a way of translating the movement, space, and
density of the imaginary and realistic conditions. The layers of paint are like
layers of time that build up on the surface of a structure and create its façade.
