My photography strives to capture the contradictions, diversity, and unconventional beauty—considered blight by some—that manifests itself everyday on the streets I walk in Queens, NYC. I am particularly interested in illustrations of immigrant life, signage, street art, found objects, and the mutually symbiotic relationship of spatial separation that the boroughs have with Manhattan and its mythic skyline.

I am continually enthralled by this city, where a 15 minute subway ride can transport one into areas with diametrically contrasting visual surroundings, inequality, and city services. In short, the opulence and gleam of Manhattan would simply not be possible without the scraggly allure and latent radiance of the oft-neglected boroughs I strive to document.
