My practice disarms spiritual coloniality and restores a sovereign feminine language through mythic realism.
Rooted in Indigenous cosmologies of migration, each work maps how dislocation cleaves and then re-forges the human spirit.
I navigate vectors of power, eros, doctrine, gender, and ancestral echo, exposing and re-engineering the structures that once sought to silence them. This is no search for identity, it is a reckoning, an excavation of what remains incorruptible beneath erasure.
My work extends beyond biography; it speaks to the human condition.
