Perfection has been a constant theme throughout my life.

From growing up in extreme religion, to continuously holding myself against a rigid standard because of those echos. It is this concept that I explore within my work.

In my practice, I grapple with ideas of conservative American culture, the perfection that has been forced upon me and still exists within me, as well as what this all means for my future and the future of an ever changing nation.
