I work across varied materials—paint, collage, clay, papier-mâché, paper, and fiber—to explore human experience as something fluid, layered, and resilient. Elemental motifs—water, sky, shifting horizons—recur as metaphors for interior states and emotional movement. My practice navigates the space between constraint and release, inviting reflection on how we endure, transform, and imagine more expansive ways of living.
