Inspired by an insatiable curiosity about understanding the self and the role of social and cultural expectation in the construction of identity, my artistic practice approaches the topic of identity, self-representation and belonging in multiple ways.
My image-based work expresses self-referential questions that aim to connect to ideas of social construction of reality. Through constructive and deconstructive methods I cut and reassemble the images to create pieces that sit at the intersection of photography, collage, and sculpture. I use photography as the basis for the three-dimensional objects as a means to challenge our visual perception. Often implying that identity is, in fact, a social construct.
