Artist Statement

My artistic practice is an ongoing process—fluid, impermanent, and deeply rooted in the rhythms of everyday life. Rather than producing fixed objects, I create experiences that emerge through interaction between human and non-human forms. These encounters are meant to be seen, felt, and embodied, allowing the work to evolve beyond its original site of making and into the lives of others.

My role as an artist is inseparable from my existence within nature and my commitment to activism. I aim to empower transformation—of values, norms, and relationships—by fostering proximity to organic matter and ecological systems. Collaboration is central to my practice, not only with living beings but also with non-human entities, whose presence and agency help protect and reimagine our shared environments.

Site-specific works such as Transient invite nature to become both subject and collaborator. These pieces reflect on our relationship with the planet, climate change, and the human impact on ecosystems. By using nature as my canvas, I embrace impermanence and the cyclical processes of growth, decay, and renewal. The unpredictability of natural forces becomes a co-author of the work.

Found objects play a critical role in my practice, offering a way to archive and repurpose materials within environmental, cultural, and social contexts. Layering becomes a method of storytelling—each placement and interaction forming new narratives. This approach invites viewers to become co-creators, engaging actively rather than passively with the work.

Textiles serve as a familiar and intimate medium, connecting personal memory with broader cultural histories. Through fabric, I explore the tapestry of contemporary art, weaving together past experiences and present concerns. Gold, as a multifaceted material, has long intrigued me. Its associations with cultural memory, spirituality, and power allow it to function as a conceptual bridge between ancient traditions and contemporary narratives. In my work, gold evokes the sacred and the fragile, projecting ethereal qualities that challenge permanence and invite reflection.

Nature, like art, cannot be rushed. It operates through countless invisible processes—complex, unknowable, and yet deeply connected to our existence. I embrace this mystery, recognizing that understanding is not a prerequisite for empathy. The act of experiencing art is shaped by each viewer’s historical, cultural, and social environment, and these diverse interpretations become entwined with my own processes of research and making.

Ultimately, my practice is a balancing act between activism and observation. It acknowledges our insignificance in the face of nature’s vastness, while asserting the power of art to foster connection, provoke thought, and inspire change.
