My practice encompasses drawing, painting, and sculpture as performative acts that interrogate how we inhabit our bodies in foreign contexts while constructing pathways for connection. Through this work, I reclaim and reimagine the meaning of home and place, examining social structures of belonging, translation, and power.
Drawing from staged theatrical and cinematic vocabularies, I render the charged tension between inclusion and exclusion—from the intimacy of the family dinner table to the guarded terrain of institutional art spaces. My work positions me simultaneously as artist and observer, shifting between the center and the periphery to reveal what is disclosed and what remains concealed when identity becomes contingent upon context.
Painting and drawing function as languages that exceed verbal articulation. The work embodies vulnerability as a deliberate strategy, remaining open to transformation as cultural contexts shift and new meanings emerge.
