ON A MISSION

In my early twenties I started taking my camera everywhere I went. I documented much of my life, graffiti and all that comes with it. Over time, I saw everything gets buffed. It’s a cycle of painting and being painted over

The photographs are my view as an insider, showing the process, candid moments, and venturing into the unknown. I was nonstop in the studio and in the street, day and night, all on my own terms. I was on a mission to create, to be seen and heard, to have fun, and to live, even if fleeting

ON A MISSION is a selection of images from my archive, the majority of which have never been shown.
