My art represents explorations of history, place, and self in liminal spaces using clay as an access point to deconstruct and develop expanding rhizomes. The work serves as a representation of culture both transient and permanent. Truths existing from passed tales of fact and fiction. Whether real or imagined, respecting all as creators of the present.

This path is borne out of my constant discord and development of identity. I, like many others, exist in a gray area. Born and raised in America from immigrant parents, leading to a floating like cultural experience. A state of being where there is a constant negotiation of dealing with the complexities of shifting schemas revolving around intersectional identities. My work is indicative of this struggle. Clay as a material acts as a veritable vessel inhabiting these ideas in a very tangible way. With every touch and interaction, the clay holds these memories as a solidified truth.
