We Are All Here 
digital illustration
and photo collages 
2023

These collage works fuse together obscure visages—faces that were once cherished friends, beloved family members, intimate lovers, or merely fleeting glimpses of strangers—now lost and faded in the passing of time. By assembling these forgotten photographs into a new medium, I seek to offer audiences a renewed connection to these bygone individuals.

Using a blend of vintage photography and modern digital illustration techniques, I breathe new life into long-gone moments, making them accessible, thought-provoking, and alive for audiences across distant places and times. The repetition of patterns reflects the time I spend in contemplation—embalming moments, immersing myself in the captured lives of people from another era.

I deeply believe in the quiet bond that forms between viewer and subject, and I strive to evoke such intimacy in everyone who encounters my work. By embellishing these images with vivid colors, playful patterns, and motion graphics, I invite the viewer to collaborate—crafting a shared experience that celebrates both the resilience and the mystery of the human face, immortalized in these snapshots.

This fusion of technology and traditional photography allows me to give these images new meaning and purpose, forming timeless configurations that illuminate the resonances between history and contemporary culture.
