“Walking On The Moon”

Walking On The Moon is a series of nine mixed-media works that reframe the mythology of Americana through a contemporary lens. Built from collaged fragments of vintage magazines and newspapers, each piece pulls from a visual archive of mid-century aspiration—advertising, pop culture, patriotism—and reconstructs it into something both familiar and disorienting.

Encased in layers of polyurethane, the works take on a an almost preserved quality, as if these moments have been sealed in time. Across the series, iconic imagery is deconstructed and reassembled into new compositions that blur the line between celebration and critique. Symbols of success, progress, and identity are placed in tension with one another, inviting viewers to reconsider what these images once represented—and what they mean now.

The title, Walking On The Moon, evokes both ambition and illusion: a reference to one of America’s most defining achievements, but also to the surreal, almost dreamlike quality of the work itself. Like the phrase suggests, the series exists in a space between reality and myth—where history, media, and identity collide and are reimagined.
