　　作品介绍：

　　相似的事物有着不同的用处，承载着不同的生命周期，为我们的日常生活带来层次感与舒适感。我的作品旨在重新审视这些平常的事物，探寻他们在完成使命之后，带给我们的思考。通过收集住所附近以及城市中形形色色的物质，我重造了一些静态物体，将其置于工作室之内或之外，以此来研究有机物和无机物的形式并置问题。通过摄影空间的布局，我将一些临时建构隔断、孤立起来，以此来探索废物的美学与表层价值。
Familiar materials have specific uses and life expectancies that add structure and comfort to daily procedures. My work is concerned with what else we can know about these commonplace items by looking at them after they have served their purpose. Collecting objects from my apartment and the city, I construct still lives, both outside and in a studio environment to investigate formal juxtapositions of organic and inorganic materials. I use photographic space to fragment and isolate temporary constructions in order to explore the aesthetic and surface values of refuse.

　　作品介绍：

　　《圣保罗的变革》包含9幅当代祭坛画，每幅都是三联画。《圣保罗的变革》作品记录了当地殖民地历史以及当今政治，宗教和文化状况。与西方许多地方一样，圣保罗和巴西在不断发展变化。经过血雨腥风的洗礼，巴西从君主制变为民主制，从一个发展中国家变成了工业和经济强国。同时，巴西也经历了文化的变革，年轻人深受美国品牌和信仰的影响。
A Convers o de S o Paulo is comprised of 9 contemporary altarpieces–each consisting of three panels. A Convers o de S o Paulo ties these conversions together, from the colonial past to the political, religious, and cultural present. Like many places in the Western world, S o Paulo–and Brazil as a whole–is a place of constant conversion. Brazil has seen a conversion from a monarchy to a democracy, and during the making of this work was in the midst of the traumatic conversion from a developing nation to an industrial and economic powerhouse. There has been a conversion of culture as well, with American brands and symbols leaving their traces on the young people that don them.

　　作品简介：

　　《每一次呼吸》通过我自己和他人的各种肖像，探索身份、欲望、和关系的力量。借助同性恋的框架以及个人有意而为之的男性形象，我的作品想要探索人的个人身份、人如何与他人建立亲密关系等。充满阳刚之美的男性照片像一面镜子，深深吸引着我，这种略带柔和的阳刚之气正是我想要的。同样，这种关系的逼真描绘，可从观者的眼睛中所见，所知，所求。自我本身就是这种亲密关系的反映。
Every breath we drew explores the power of identity, desire, and connection through portraits of myself and others. Working within the framework of queer experience and from my actively constructed sense of masculinity, my portraits examine the intersection between private, individual identity and the search for intimate connection with others. The photographs of men and masculine individuals act as a kind of mirror; they depict the type of gentle masculinity I am attracted to, yet also the kind I want to embody. Similarly, the photographs of relationships speak to a drive to be seen, understood, and desired through the eyes of a another person; a reflection of the self as the ultimate intimate connection.

　　作品简介：

　　我喜欢用摄影记录事实，用文章揭露关系。通过融合图像与文字，我一直在尝试着探寻家庭和地域之间的复杂特性，揭示人类沟通的障碍，展示世间的独特魅力，突显超然与世俗的张力感。在很多作品中，我喜欢将图像与语言紧密衔接起来，重组各个元素，重塑事实，再现经历。
I make photographs and write about relationships. Through diverse combinations of images, memoir, fiction, and book forms, I create vignettes exploring the complex specificities of family and place, the awkwardness of communication, the vagaries of attraction, and the tension between the lyrical and the mundane. In my various projects, I use photographs and language in conjunction, each recontextualizing the other to expand the narrative possibilities and experience of stories.
