“The coincidental overlap of our existence in time & an apple” @kilihali Can you guess what we have in common with a sliced apple?🍎 I continue creating not necessarily for reasons that may be found in the external world, but more so somewhere deep within me I truly believe that certain things are better off existing in the real world rather than staying inside my head. With the mass amount of content nowadays I’m not sure if this will be buried amongst the rest… However if the algorithm happened to magically find you & somehow managed to catch even a glimpse of your attention, let me know☺️ that’ll make me happy🍎 Art: @kilihali @hok Model: @zoeykriegmont Music: @_georgeko

It’s kind of hard to explain so let me just show you… Feel so happy to have created/connect with so many amazing individuals through these years! So many more ideas I have that I haven’t brought to life yet… who’s next??😉 @liza_riabinina @smacmccreanor @jalenrsands @anthonychirco @lydia.aberkane @erica_klein @natawithat @victoria_neukom @victoriamisu @caryn_m @makenzie_dustman @kristigriffphotos @olgamovement @lana.kai.fox @geraldnonadoez

I’m not sure if there’s a word for it in the English dictionary but sometimes it’s just a feeling… a nostalgic feeling of a memory that you never had ☁️😌 “The feeling of falling up” Hand cut paper Stop motion by @hok x @fishyfighter @ms_robot

I never understood buying flowers because they will all eventually wilt. Now I love them for that exact reason. They’re not meant to live forever. They remind us to enjoy & appreciate the moment. “Flowers aren’t meant to live forever” 144” x 96” (triptych) Hand cut paper on transparent acrylic Current on display at @cascadapdx @concretearcade Inquire for acquisition.

This was one of the most experimental piece I got to showcase this exhibit, where I got to explore the coexistence of chaos within order. Because of the approach I decided to take, this definitely took the longest & the most amount of laying out, recollecting, laying out again over & over again before landing on a composition that made the most sense. Also one of my personal favourites because I got to play around with the anamorphic optical illusion ☺️ The distortion of the figure becomes apparent only when you look through the reflection on a mirrored cylinder. “A continuous question towards the illusion of time & space” hand cut paper 40” x 60” 2026 (Paper elements created 2024) Originally created for an exhibition at the @magiccastlehollywood , Current exhibition open to the public at @cascadapdx @concretearcade Inquire for acquisition😌 Link in bio

Honestly had no idea how the turn out would be, but it being at @cascadapdx , I just knew that I had to put my absolute everything & beyond in 👊 I cannot be more thankful to every single one of you that showed up to support & to have a great night of celebration 😭✨ Thank you again to @cascadapdx @cascada.danya @concretearcade for having me & organizing such an amazing successful night!! 📷: @reedalyson @reedalysonphoto

Solo Art gallery exhibit ✅ This gallery opening was definitely nothing short of an insane amount of work but I think I can proudly say that it turned out as a huge success. 32 pieces of work (plus 20 videos) I had made over the years, 10 new ones created specifically for this exhibit. Despite it not being my hometown, we had a great turn out of around 600 guests showing up throughout the night 😮😮 I was so happy to be able to showcase & share what I do with the beautiful city of Portland. It got too busy that I didn’t even get a chance to pop the bottle of champagne I wanted to celebrate with 🥲🥂 Thank you SO MUCH to @cascada.danya for putting the trust in me in the first place, & thank you to the entire @cascadapdx @concretearcade @organicbunni team for working together to create such a wonderful night. Huge thank you to my bro @rjsalsedo for driving up with me and being my right hand man for this entire trip!! So happy for you to be able to reconnect with your roots as well as experiencing this crazy madness with you! Thank you to all of my friends, colleagues, supporters from the SYTYCD & ABDC days, friends that were my friends before I did any TV stuff that showed up to the event, your presence truly meant the world to me & I was happy to have been able to show the other side of me in person. Thank you to all of my beautiful muses around the world that blindly trusted me before any of these pieces took shape, for continuing to believe in the work I do. Thank you to all of my past experiences, whether good or bad for happening in my life and to have given me the motivation to turn it into the pieces they are today. The gallery will be open to the public for the next 3 months, if you are ever around Portland, please stop by @cascadapdx , grab a coffee at @albertastcoffee & peep into the physical representation of how I see the world 🙏✨ Thank you again, @kilihali x @cascadapdx 4.23.26 Hok 📷: @rjsnapped @bfa @maynardvillaflores @condor_studios @smile4travel
