Pulling from experiences with trauma & recovery, motherhood and a multi-faceted identity, my artwork explores a shifting self over space & time. How do we navigate loss & discovery, grief & joy? How do these recurring migrations from pain to solace shape & reshape us? I'm especially curious about emotional & psychological fissures, and how the slow, sacred process of repair not only transforms us but also connects us to others.
