Welcome to my Gallery
Through my lens — shaped by Dissociative Identity Disorder, a rare survival mechanism of the brain — I don’t just capture scenes; I reveal the unseen layers of existence. Each image is a reflection of how my mind fractures, merges, and reframes reality to survive.
From a child in a Jacksonville trailer park clutching a disposable camera, to an artist walking city streets with a Nikon D850, my journey has always been about transforming survival into art. These photographs are not simply visuals — they are emotional echoes of trauma, resilience, and renewal.
Each limited-edition print is refined in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, not to perfect imperfection, but to honor it. Cracked walls, peeling paint, and forgotten chairs become metaphors of the mind — reminders that even what’s broken can still hold grace.
My art isn’t about documentation; it’s about translation — translating emotion, dissociation, and memory into form. Every image invites you to look closer, to feel the tension between beauty and decay, loss and light.
Each gallery piece stands as a living artifact of healing, created not to be understood clinically but to be felt. These works exist as bridges — connecting those who have never known dissociation with those still trying to find themselves inside it.
This is not photography alone.
This is survival turned visual.
This is the art of becoming whole through fracture.
Gallery of Professional Photographers: Save Ellis Island Foundation
I am deeply humbled and thrilled to present this gallery in collaboration with the Save Ellis Island Foundation. This marks my first official accreditation as a Fine Art Photographer, and I am honored that my images are now housed in a museum setting — representing a piece of American history.
Each photograph here is more than just an image; it is a story of memory, legacy, and place. As you visit this collection, I invite you to reflect on the endurance of our shared past, as preserved by the passion and dedication of the Save Ellis Island team.
To the Save Ellis Island Foundation: thank you for entrusting me with this opportunity. Your commitment to restoring and safeguarding this iconic site gives artists like me a rare platform — one I will cherish always.
