I’ve Got You Covered

April 10 – May 9, 2025

The theme of this exhibition revolves around the courage it took to finally share work that was never approved by clients—but still deserves to be seen. These pieces represent creative risks, explorations, and ideas that lived in the shadows for too long. These covers are not just book jackets. They are touchstones of a life. Each one is a door I once opened, a whisper I once followed, a part of myself I once left between the pages. It also marks a personal milestone: I just turned 31, and with that, made the decision to truly show up—for myself, for my creative voice, and for the version of me that’s no longer waiting for permission.
