ARTIST'S STATEMENT
,
exploration and experimentation across a wide range of media,
techniques, and materials. I intentionally blur the boundaries
between craft, commercial art, and fine art, creating work that
is both accessible and conceptually layered. As a passionate
storyteller, I draw inspiration from raw materials I collect,
everyday observations, and personal experiences.
Sustainability and conservation are central to my work. I
reimagine overlooked and discarded items destined for landfills,
valuing them not only for their original function but also for
their aesthetic and symbolic potential. By approaching objects
through a visual and narrative lens rather than a purely
utilitarian one, I appropriate their inherent meanings and
rework them into entirely new interpretations. The act of
sourcing materials often becomes collaborative, fostering
shared moments of storytelling infused with nostalgia
and humor.
To transcend language barriers and focus on the visual
experience, I developed a language of graphic bars that
represent words and punctuation. This system invites viewers
to actively participate by filling in their own words—a process
I find more compelling than prescribing a fixed narrative.
A recurring motif in my work is a minimalist, stylized female
form with universal, relatable features, used to humanize
abstract ideas. Rooted in values of diversity and inclusion,
my work engages contemporary issues—particularly feminism,
gender roles, and environmental sustainability—to challenge
established norms and illuminate ingrained preconceptions.
