About Me

Artist Statement

My work engages with what feels inherently familiar and what feels foreign, a tension I live out daily. Rather than reject these parts of myself, I embrace them by layering images and patterns that speak to the idea that I am the sum total of all my experiences –  an interwoven matrix of cultures, language, and identity.
