My practice embodies the ideas of identity, ceremony, space, and the intersectionality between culture and symbolism. Using this as a catalyst for different series, the core of work strings together ideas of who we are as people, what recurrent threads we share, and how this drives our adoration or apprehension for different visceral or instinctual feelings.
My work carries narratives based upon rebirth, renewal, and womanhood, and the power each holds; while streaming together links between continents and the people that transcend them.
