My current body of work, titled "Things Falling Apart," explores the concept of retrieval and transformation. Like a China cabinet falling to the ground, I collect and sort retrievable pieces of fragments, each containing seeded memory. These shards and fragments are put back together to take on new life and character, permeating strength, anger, and beauty. Creation emerges from intense emotional states involving uncomfortable responses to perceptions and resilience while seeking joy and beauty.
Contemplating the past and future is central to my work, as I seek to understand the intertwined nature of the world and personal struggles. Sharing, communicating, and inspiring others to follow what grows and brings confidence is paramount to creating a bright future.
