Artist Statement:

This collection of work blends photography, poetry, and multimedia pieces, each exploring everyday moments captured and reinterpreted through my personal reflections or simple phrases. The photography and poetry reflect my thoughts and experiences of the moment, while the other works made with textile and multimedia materials delve into the human body, examining both its physical traits and its metaphorical significance. I explore how the body can be viewed as both a tangible object and an extension of one’s identity. By referencing my own physical and emotional health, I use art as a means to process and understand these personal experiences. My practice is project-based, incorporating a variety of materials, such as fabric, wood, clay, plaster, digital drawing, and photography, each chosen for the way it aligns with themes of identity, spirituality, and Christian symbolism. The very materials I use become part of the meaning, helping to deepen the connection to both my personal journey and broader spiritual themes.
