Artist Statement
My interest as an artist lies in the interconnectedness of people through relationships, communities, and cultures. Through the construction of hybridized and evolving forms, I have been able to distill my ideas about the porousness of culture, perception, and identity. With this abstracted vocabulary of hybridized forms, I establish systems and hierarchies that I disrupt to create new ways of navigating the human experience. This process relates to the way in which my awareness evolves as I seek deepened relational intelligence and greater empathic connection.
