What situates me most intimately in my world is exploring the interconnected nature of things.
I seek out patterns in group behavior that reveal how belief systems trap us in binary oppositions, conformity, and complacency - resulting in lonely crowds and an absence of true freedom.
At its core, my work is a search for personal freedom, a pursuit of forgiveness and release from inner torment. But outwardly, it is an effort to open hearts, challenge perceptions, and dissolve divides. This search feeds directly into my creative practice, where I examine the tension between vulnerability and violence.
Through installations, I use trace elements to explore presence, while my figurative clay sculptures establish a tangible, real-world presence. The human form and its traces serve as instruments to reveal how our hostile, divided, and sometimes deadlocked society might be unbuttoned.
My work addresses themes of isolation, vulnerability, manipulation, gender, and the female experience.
More than just representing what feels beyond my control, my creative practice is a means of redefinition — an opportunity to question, reshape, and transform perception.
