My practice explores the emotional architecture of memory, identity, and resilience through the intersection of photography, sculpture, and craft. I use photographic imagery not just as documentation, but as material, transforming photographs into skin-like surfaces that wrap around sculptural forms. These layered constructions become vessels for narrative, shaped by personal history and symbolic storytelling. I am particularly interested in how inherited experiences, especially those rooted in generational trauma, maternal strength, and evolving relationships, become embedded in the body and passed down through gestures, objects, and silence.
​
I draw from traditional craft techniques such as textile work, embroidery, papier-mâché, and hand-building, often combining them with digital processes to blur the lines between the domestic and the surreal, the tender and the haunting. My forms often take the shape of hybrid creatures or uncanny figures, part myth, part memory, inviting viewers into a space where personal and collective stories echo across materials. These sculptural installations are immersive and intuitive, designed to be moved through, felt, and emotionally inhabited.
​
Through this work, I aim to build visual languages that hold space for contradiction, grief and beauty, fragility and strength, loss and transformation. I believe in art as a connective force: a way of stitching together past and present, self and other, silence and voice. My goal is to create spaces of reflection and empathy where viewers can encounter themselves through the emotional residue of materials and the poetry of form.
