My work speaks to the human condition, to the ways we carry fracture and inheritance, the persistence of spirit in the face of erasure, and the universal search for what endures beyond history's collapse.
The work reflects an evolving language of layered surfaces, where memory is both concealed and revealed. Through restrained palettes, dense layering, and delicate mark-making, I explore how ancestral histories live within the body, how silence speaks, and how the spiritual residues of displacement shape identity.
