This is where things shift. Intervals of change – those transient spaces that we occupy in between our befores and afters – are the uncertain territories of simultaneous disruption and formation. We describe them as places to move through and not as places in which to linger. My current work explores what it is like to be still within these in-between spaces. 

This series speaks to the contemporary and ongoing dialogue between the construction of the identity of self and the collective cultural identity, specifically in relation to social media. The layering and fragmentation of the portraits reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of identity and perception of identity in both the natural and digital world.

Dwelling in It, Dwelling on It (Temporary Living Spaces), considers the current state of home buying and the question of where to live, while facing the differences between what we imagine, what is attainable, and what is attained.

This body of work is derived from a performative piece in which explored the notions of layering, concealing, and revealing through the movements of fabric over and around my body. These actions were captured on film, and I then used stills of these movements as references for the silkscreened images.

My current artwork acts as both a means of self-representation and self-expression, allowing me to talk about the things that are most important without having to resort to words. The concept that I work with mostly revolves around the idea of time and journey, especially immigration and the feelings that are associated with it.
