Artist Statement
My work begins with writing. Every morning, I fill my sketchbook with unedited thoughts, a ritual that grounds me and fuels my art. These words become the foundation for mixed media pieces where text is layered, obscured, and transformed into texture and rhythm. What begins as private reflection shifts into visual form, exploring the balance between vulnerability and protection.
I collect materials from my daily life and solo travels- print materials, packaging, fabric, and found fragments that might otherwise be discarded. Recycling and reuse are central to my process; I weave together the old and the new, incorporating pages from past journals and writing fresh words into each piece, like quiet spells of intention.
At its core, my work is about transformation of language, material, and self. It traces my journey through healing, relationships, and belonging, revealing that “home” is not a place but something I continue to build within myself.
