While settling into San Francisco, I found myself drawn to the tension between its past and present—particularly the visual remnants of the city before and after the 1906 earthquake. This piece is influenced by historic photographs, personal accounts from survivors, and the warm orange and pink hues that continue to define many of the city’s older structures. I use these elements to create a dialogue between history and modern experience, reflecting how the city’s identity continues to shift over time.
