ARTIST STATEMENT
My practice moves across painting, drawing, photography, embroidery, collage, video, and sound to explore how memory, identity, and beauty persist - often in fragile, fragmented forms. I work with personal and found materials that carry subtle traces of life and create new through layering, distortion, and repetition. These become visual and sonic echoes - gestures that blur the boundary between presence and absence. I am drawn to imperfection and the overlooked, those small details that hold emotional weight. My work does not attempt to preserve memory as truth but engages with its instability - its distortion, its silences, its beauty in erasure.
Sound plays an equally important role in my installations, often composed of my voice and ambient recordings from intimate and outdoor spaces. Combined with tactile and visual elements, they create immersive environments that invite the viewer to slow down and engage with what is barely visible or barely heard.
