Artist Statement

My practice as a visual artist spans painting, sculpture, and drawing, with a deep foundation in autobiographical inquiry. From the beginning, the fabric of my family life and domestic environment has profoundly shaped my work. Art has served as a personal language as a way to process memory, explore identity, and preserve emotional truths. Early in my career, I painted family members from life within our shared spaces. These works aimed to document the intimacy of daily rituals, relationships, and quiet tensions. Through this, I developed a visual language rooted in vulnerability and lived experience. This became a means of navigating grief and rediscovering joy through making.

My work centres on themes of love, companionship, care, and loss. Using materials such as  paintings, drawings, polymer clay, wood, plastic scraps, and electronics, I hand-sculpt and paint figures, building miniature interiors filled with symbolic objects. These delicate, theatrical, and emotionally resonant interior scenes that act as visual archives of my familial memory. Each piece is a tangible reflection of fleeting, often-overlooked moments as an attempt to hold onto the ephemeral, and to preserve the emotional legacy of those closest to me grounded in the memories of the past. Ultimately, my work asks how we process the past how personal history is stored not just in our minds, but in our hands, our gestures, and the objects we create. Whether through painted portrait or sculpted figure, I aim to create works that feel intimate and reflective, inviting viewers to consider their own stories, their own family mythologies, and the quiet power of objects as vessels of memory.
