ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My practice is an exploration of queerness, transformation, and play. I create work that traces the ways memory shapes identity, allowing it to shift, unravel, and be reimagined through material and form. Through sculpture, photography, and wearables, I build spaces where personal history and queer imagination overlap, turning fragments of the past into possibilities for kinship and becoming.

​

I work with beads and textiles—materials I cherished in childhood—through a process I call “freestyle stitching.” Improvisational and patternless, this method resists structure and mirrors the expansiveness of queerness: nonlinear, fluid, and in motion. Many of my works hold fragments of memory—personal objects that become vessels of history and care—forming an ongoing archive of becoming.

​

Photography expands this archive, animating the sculptures into familial roles and imagining queer genealogies. These portraits collapse time, blurring the boundary between self-documentation and fiction, presence and myth.

​

At its core, my work reclaims childhood and transforms vulnerability into strength. By centering play as both method and philosophy, I create spaces of tenderness, visibility, and radical joy—where memory is not fixed but continually remade through acts of compassion and queer imagination.
