“ My work engages in an ongoing dialogue with time. Each portrait, each detail seeks to capture the very texture of an era when freedom was lived openly in the streets and expression revealed itself through gestures, styles and fleeting yet fully inhabited moments. I draw upon the spirit of my own youth, shaped by the golden age of Californian skateboarding, to explore the interwoven threads of memory, identity and transformation in a world where the simplicity of those days now yields to an ever more digitized reality.”
