This one-of-a-kind 40” × 50” archival pigment print is hand-punctured and woven with pressed flowers. It is named for Benzaiten, Japanese goddess of water, music, and eloquence. She will bring you luck and prosperity.
I created this work to display women as the gods they are, and creators of life.
As always, I was inspired by the true stories behind the woman, her tattoos, and her life. Every mark she carries is real.

Konohanasakuya-hime 🌸

Named for the Japanese goddess of cherry blossoms: a deity of earthly life, bloom, and transience.

With this piece I return to a theme that runs through my work: woman as the origin of life. I have added hand-pressed white cherry flowers, laid onto paper I punctured by hand, so that the bloom and the body become inseparable. Nature carried into the work itself, fragile and deliberate.

It features the wonderful Julie Lili Prevost, whose snake and sakura tattoos brought this vision to life. Her skin already told the story; I simply gathered it into the frame.

Introducing Immortal Ink, my newest series.

Gaia, goddess of creation, rendered on fine art paper hand-punctured with needles and filled with pressed flowers and real butterflies — gathered from the forests of Upstate New York.

Each piece is one of a kind. Nature, goddess, creation — woven together by hand.

Woman as the source of life.

The show is on view at Emmanuel Fremin through July 13. Come see it in person.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared new work — and I’m so excited to finally introduce this series.

Immortal Ink was born from an unexpected encounter: the incredible 𝑳𝒂.𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒖𝒙 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒖𝒓𝒔 / 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏 / 𝐓𝐢𝐦 🥀 who tattooed her body after being moved by my exhibition in Paris. Her floral tattoos ignited something in me — I knew I had to photograph her as a goddess of nature and life. A living forest. Because women truly are gods and creators.

In this series, I merge photography with real flowers and butterflies I’ve collected from upstate New York, then hand-puncture each print with tattoo needles — scarifying the paper, giving it the texture of skin. The boundary between body and image, nature and art, dissolves.

Some pieces are currently on view at Emmanuel Fremin in NYC through July 13. More coming soon.
