PROFILE

As a multidisciplinary artist, I work across drawing, photography, and sculptural form to examine issues surrounding identity, embodiment, and everyday lived experience. My practice often incorporates personal materials, allowing me to translate private narratives into broader social conversations. I am motivated by a belief in art’s ability to connect people, challenge perspectives, and contribute to meaningful artistic and cultural discourse.
