Artist Statement

My research orbits around the intersectionality of memory and identity, questioning what is understood as origin and its effects in the sense of self. I understand the body as a carrier of inherited memory and I see memory as a malleable reconstruction that constantly requests my attention, an area to which I return, a space where I repeat and re-member. I make art by tapping into a personal place with an effort to find moments of connection with the collective. As an intermedial artist, I am compelled to work through as many languages as possible, finding myself in an incessant search for that which conveys the affective and somatic manifestations of trauma and memory.
