Artist Statement

My practice explores the fluid relationship between memory, perception, and human connection. I delve into personal recollections and emotions, translating them into visual forms that intertwine abstraction and figuration. The figure within these works appears as a grounding presence – a space for rest and self-representation amidst a contained mess of textures, colors, and abstracted elements.

The body holds a deep connection; inherently personal, it is a visceral vessel for shared experiences such as intimacy, emotion, or just fleeting moments of our connections to each other. My process is guided by the emotions I feel when reflecting on my own elements of these connections, allowing me to disrupt realism and create works that encourage interpretation and exploration. Each piece invites the audience to bring their own memories forward, whether it’s seeing those moments in the abstractions or connecting to the universal thread of shared experience. Every emotion, every memory becomes a story woven into the fabric of our interconnected lives and perceptions. In search of finding new connections with my own experiences, I wish for others to find meaning in the universal moments we share.
