I spent one year living and traveling through Mexico, it was the event that inspired me to pick up a camera and start documenting what I was seeing, and which profoundly affected many other aspects of my life and though process.

It instilled in me a love for the absurd and surreal in everyday life. I spent a great deal of my time watching experimental films and reading magic realism stories which were pivotal in the development of my understanding of visual communication and symbolism.
