My work as a photographer has always been rooted in the belief that images are carriers of memory, culture, and transformation. I draw upon a dual background in art and social sciences to explore identity, history, and place—often through the lens of family, diaspora, and the everyday. Photography, for me, is not only a tool for visual expression but also a means of engaging with the complexity of lived experience, particularly as it intersects with race, community, and narrative. Whether capturing intimate portraits, constructing large-scale photographic installations, or collaborating with students and communities, my work strives to foreground human presence and agency.
The technical process—from analog darkroom printing to large-format mural work and digital interventions—plays a critical role in how I articulate these themes. I often return to traditional techniques not out of nostalgia but to explore their capacity for nuance, subtlety, and resistance in a hyper-digital age. At the same time, my practice continues to evolve, integrating new technologies and methodologies that allow me to expand both form and meaning.
Teaching has been inseparable from my artistic practice. Over the past three decades, I’ve taught photography across many institutions. In these classrooms, I advocate for critical engagement, technical rigor, and visual literacy—mentoring students to find their own voice while interrogating the visual culture that surrounds them.
Ultimately, my goal is to create work that invites reflection—on who we are, how we see, and what we choose to remember.
