Art Statement 2025
I create my work as a therapeutic meditation, delving into themes of ecofeminism, diaspora, memory, identity, food culture, and migration—subjects that resonate deeply with my personal journey and the broader human experience. As an immigrant whose family has navigated many migrations, I’ve come to understand the constant reshaping of identity, the need to shed old skins, and the strength required to adapt.
I work with materials that hold deep personal significance—skin, hair, language, recipes, and memories—each piece reflecting my lived experience and cultural history. My practice spans drawing, printmaking, photography, and storytelling, often incorporating unconventional materials like silicon to express the complexity of identity and belonging.
Through my art, I seek to spark curiosity, encouraging viewers to connect with the sensory and emotional aspects of transformation and difference. Creating this work is both grounding and meditative for me, a way to navigate the complexities of belonging and change.
