Artist Statement

My work embraces vulnerability. I view my art as my visual journal where I use images rather than words to express my thoughts and experiences. I aim for my work to initiate conversations about challenges we don’t openly talk about in our daily lives. I aspire for my art to raise awareness and serve as a catalyst for people to share their own personal challenges and embrace vulnerability. I believe vulnerability is key to connecting with others on a deeper level, creating meaningful relationships, and fostering a sense of belonging.

My current work involves versatile mediums of folded paper strips and materials found in everyday life. I like to use materials in unexpected ways, inviting viewers to rethink what they see at first glance similar to how we often hide our true selves in front of others the very first time we meet someone. I transform ordinary materials found around us into 3D works of art to evoke a sense of reconnection with oneself.  This exploration of materials pushes me to express vulnerabilities and emotions in fresh and unexpected ways. The act of engaging with materials like paper directly by hand is a therapeutic experience to channel my emotions. 

Beyond my artistic journey, I am also passionate about creating quality art educational content for free. This passion extends from the belief that art is a powerful means for individuals to connect and express themselves.
