artist STATEMENT
My work explores the intersection of memory, architecture, and the sacred. Through collage and mixed media, I construct layered spaces that hold tension—between permanence and decay, stillness and transformation. Churches, domestic interiors, and industrial structures frequently appear, reframed through surreal compositions that question how we move through time and space, both physically and emotionally.
A recurring theme in my practice is the role of women within spaces traditionally shaped by men—religious, institutional, and architectural. I reflect on how my body has felt in these environments: safe, seen, or out of place. Sometimes I’m quietly challenging power structures; other times, I’m simply existing within them. By placing feminine figures in these spaces, I explore how presence alone can shift the atmosphere—how resilience, stillness, or mere visibility can recenter the narrative and prompt reflection on the politics of scale, power, and belonging.
In a parallel body of work, I create abstract mixed-media pieces using found and discarded materials—wallpaper, wood, fragments of everyday life. I sand, peel, and layer until parts of the past remain visible beneath the surface, like emotional ruins or architectural ghosts. These works are acts of excavation, revealing what lingers and what might be renewed.
