Artist Statement

My practice explores dissolution—the gradual blurring of boundaries between selves, memories, emotions, and environments.

Working across textile, installation, illustration, collage, and garment, I am interested in how strong emotions can exist beneath restrained surfaces. Rather than expressing emotion through dramatic gestures, I investigate quieter forms of intensity: subtle shifts, lingering traces, and moments where identities begin to merge, dissolve, or transform.

Water frequently appears throughout my work as both material and metaphor. It represents fluidity, memory, and the unstable spaces between separation and connection. Through layering, repetition, translucency, and material transformation, I create visual environments that reflect the complex relationships between control and vulnerability, presence and absence, self and other.

My work does not seek fixed conclusions. Instead, it invites viewers into spaces of uncertainty, where emotional boundaries soften and new forms of connection become possible.
