The series reimagines childhood wooden alphabet blocks through adult subject matter, while retaining subtle references to the visual language of the early learning objects.
Across the series, I employ varied painting techniques and stylistic approaches, shifting between illusionistic realism, naïve rendering, and visible brushwork and material texture. Each work is constructed from two joined canvases one presenting the painted surface (the adult experience) and the other often revealing the raw reverse or "ghostly" imprint of the childhood theme. A 3D wooden corresponding alphabet block is integrated into each structure, anchoring the abstract concepts in physical reality. All the artworks are approximately 12 x 15 inches, oriented either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

When exhibited together, the 26 works function as a single installation rather than discrete paintings. The progression from letter to letter creates a rhythm that moves between playful recognition and darker associations.
