Finding color in the dark and gloomy City of New York. The buildings, the street signs, its citizen’s clothes and attitude tend to sway to grays, blacks, dark shades, and dim undertones. My work is to discover color and bring it front and center. Color isn’t easy to find, it's a clever thing that is an expert at hiding. It likes to bury itself in places that you’ll never expect to find; in the streets, at the underground subway station, in your lover’s bedroom, a trashy dive bar, but its surrounds us everywhere in this murky and dim city.

Colors don't have to just be shade and dyes. It’s also the product of feelings, actions, and expressions that occur everyday. By being able to capture those colorful moments by using different mediums, like films and stills. I am able to artistically show the colors that randomly appear in New York City.
