Artist Statement

My work explores the complexities of identity, embodiment, and perception through material-driven processes. I’m drawn to the tensions between visibility and invisibility, structure and softness, clarity and ambiguity. These tensions inform my use of varied media, including sculpture, painting, photography, and installation. Material is central to my practice. Each medium becomes a way to speak to a different kind of experience: some ancestral, some emotional, some entirely sensory. I approach making intuitively, through layering, cutting, shaping, and responding in real time.

My work exists somewhere between world-building and self-reckoning. It is a space where personal history, public perception, and imagined futures intersect. I’m not looking for resolution, but honesty. What does it mean to live fully in a system that prefers us simplified and what new forms might emerge when we hold space for complexity and difference? When others engage with my work, I hope they leave with more questions than answers. Questions about the worlds we carry, the ones we inherit, and the ones we are willing to create.
