He is currently working on integrating writing into his photographic work, as well as experimenting with 3D multidisciplinary projects.

His work has been represented by Esperanza Project Space and online arts boutique Spotte Art, and has been shown at Drexel University, the School of the International Center of Photography, the Kitao Gallery at Swarthmore College, and at Leiminspace in Chinatown, Los Angeles.
