My work engages with the inherent contradictions of existence —our identities, relationships, and the pressures of having a body. This engagement draws me to gooey, complex forms that teeter between formlessness and structure, reflecting the complexities of being human in the 21st century. My medium is an evolving quest, shaped by the needs of each work. I am typically drawn to recycled and found materials like plastics, cardboard, and styrofoam. Using these materials spark euphoria, not only for their sustainability but for the energy and challenges they introduce into my practice.
Through an intuitive process of cutting, layering, and shaping raw canvases or sculptures, I create compositions that disrupt traditional formats and invite material play. This process is deeply personal, providing a space to explore my experiences of chronic illness, multicultural identity, and societal expectations. For me, art is both a form of healing and connection. When viewers engage with my work, I hope they leave with more questions—about themselves, about me, and about the world we share. My art exists to foster curiosity, reflection, and the connections that make us human.
