2012 – 2020

Romeo Echo Delta (2012–2020) is an encrypted visual journal from my earliest years moving between two worlds: the sanctioned daylight of design discipline and the nocturnal pull of street level truth. Born from the same bloodline as my portrait practice, it shifts from likeness toward myth, using symbolic fragments to map desire, rupture, and the quiet violence of assimilation. Stencil hard edges, aerosol haze, and neo pop clarity collide with moments that drift toward abstraction, creating images that feel like coded transmissions from the subconscious.

Rather than documenting a single model, the work keeps identity deliberately porous, inviting the viewer to step into the frame and complete the narrative with their own memory architecture. Across the collection, desire is treated as both engine and battleground: tender, volatile, emancipatory. In the Nightwatcher’s language, this series is a bridge between the street and the studio, between structure and chaos, reconnecting the raw pulse of pop with the deeper weather system of abstraction.
