Stacie and her swans
Stacie is a universe of opportunity without the need for a climb. It’s a declaration on not putting all your eggs in one basket. Some opportunities are symbolized by broken eggs, representing those that are lost or missed; others are undiscovered, nurtured and grown, or outgrown from the box. Meanwhile, some opportunities remain nestled within the box, waiting to be explored.

When the reality is shaken, imagination reigns. Where the rules are bent, life's without chains.
Letting Go
The freedom in letting go of our past selves, crushing memories, and bitter experiences—rising higher as we shed the weight of the past we've been holding onto. Letting our shadow selves burn in flames, even though we're still connected to them, and knowing the final price might cost us the only comfort we were holding onto. Oil on linen canvas. 100x100cm. Nov 2023.
Lover
A relationship with unrequited love for the unattainable, unavailable, or unrealistic—the kind wrapped in delusion and mystery—tastes the sweetest and wildest in our imagination. It’s the fantasy you can’t help but hold onto. Oil on linen canvas. 100x70cm. April 2022.
