Behind the Scenes
from 2014 to 2016

The Perpetual Vacay series began in 2013 during my residency at Flux Factory and evolved into increasingly complex photo collages through 2016. This body of work examines 19th century Romantic painting traditions (particularly those of Caspar David Friedrich) through a contemporary lens of technological mediation and cultural dissonance. The source photographs—all original content captured during my travels—were printed as multiples at local pharmacies before being transformed into the intricate collages presented here.

This series has been exhibited at prestigious venues including Regina Rex/Harbor Gallery in the Lower East Side (in a group show with artists such as Lauren Clay) and in a curated Harlem apartment show organized by Hilde Helphenstein, where it was well-received by collectors and critics alike. Additionally, one work from the series (Album Cover) was featured on contemporary classical composer Brooks J. Friedrickson's album "Small Works," designed during the same period.
