Everything exists at a moment in time. A ship that isn’t weathered hasn’t been anywhere. A wall with no texture wasn’t built by anyone real. I want to show the evidence of what came before and leave room for what might come next.

I build scenes that reward looking. From a distance, something should pull you in. Up close, there’s a story. And if you lean in far enough, there’s usually something that makes you laugh, or experience something you didn’t expect.

I work in constraints on purpose, because they create intention. LEGO is the right medium for this partly because it is itself a constraint. It’s a growing catalog of components I can draw from without having to create everything from scratch. The limits force creativity. And there’s something about the toylike quality of it that softens themes that might otherwise feel too heavy.

Whatever I’m building, I’m interested in the gray area. The characters who aren’t quite heroes or villains. The surfaces that show their history. The details you have to find yourself.
