Artist Statement

In a world where emotions and self-development are often overlooked and collective identity is shaped by unconscious societal patterns, how can we begin to recognize the hidden influences that shape our choices, beliefs, and actions?

How can we, as a society, become more aware of these influences and work towards creating a more emotionally intelligent and connected world?

 

On a personal level, how do we feel, process, and act on our own emotions? How do we perceive, understand, and navigate the emotions which shape our decisions and define our identities?
 

Through my artistic practice, I seek to explore these questions, using art as a tool for understanding the mind, emotional intelligence, and identity. I’ve learned that the process of self-discovery and societal growth requires not just an awareness of these underlying influences, but also the ability to transform them, individually and collectively. I’ve learned that understanding the mind involves recognizing both the patterns that shape us and the emotional complexity that defines our experience.

I create large-scale assemblage and collage pieces, using self-made, intervened, and found materials, often gathered from the streets and other discarded spaces. These objects, once separated from their original contexts, become integral parts of a new narrative, inviting the viewer to reconsider how what we discard, whether physically or emotionally, can hold new meaning. Through textures, layers, and contrasts, I explore the tension between external influences and the deeply personal aspects of identity.

​

Recycling and reimagining are not only artistic techniques; they mirror how we reshape our own narratives over time. By weaving together fragments of the past, I invite viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between what we keep, what we let go of, and the power of reinvention.
 

At its core, my work is about connection—between what has shaped us and what we have yet to uncover. It is an invitation to explore vulnerability, resilience, and the ever-evolving process of self-discovery
