Meaning:

Media Studies was my major at the University of San Francisco, and I loved it in that deep, “soul-awake” kind of way. My favorite class was called Memory, Media, and History. We studied how society remembers. Not just what happened, but how it’s told; who tells it, what gets amplified, and what gets erased. It explained how art and media become the vessels that carry those memories forward.

That class changed me. It taught me that history isn’t just dates in a textbook. It’s collective memory; story telling by those who experienced it up close.

Recently, when I paint, think about that all the time. What do we choose to hold onto? What do we choose to honor? What do we build monuments to?

Art doesn’t just decorate a wall. It becomes part of the way we remember history. My goal is to contribute to that with my artwork.

In 2026, Rage Against the Machine continues to be a force against systemic inequality, police brutality, and corporate power. It’s a renewed anthem for the injustice that continues to sweep our country. It’s anti-ICE, anti-MAGA, and a big ole FUCK YOU to structural oppression.
