This work was completed at Florida Atlantic University during 2022-2025 while I was in the MFA Studio Arts program. My MFA exhibition was titled, “War Abstracted”.

‍ ‍“War Abstracted” encapsulates three years of artistic exploration at FAU. It’s a response to contemporary conflicts, both global and domestic. It’s neither a glorification nor a condemnation of war. This exhibit reflects some of my experiences during the first Gulf War while engaging with broader themes of conflict and its impact. Through a diverse range of materials and methods, this work navigates personal, political, and environmental issues, occasionally voicing a distinct perspective, hoping at times to challenge the viewer.
