At the meeting point of image and material, I create
a laboratory of research, experimentation, and discovery.
The body is the origin,
a vessel of memory,
a landscape marked by time.

Stone, clay, metal, textile, chlorophyll, handmade paper, hair, wax, fire, materials with their own memories of erosion and growth.

Each material reshapes the image, revealing a new perspective. Through this collaboration, a harmony emerges, the image and the material speaking their distinct languages at once. I reshape the photograph not to preserve what was
but to open what might be.

Art, for me, is a way of traveling through time,
reassembling my own codes,
translating sensation into form
and form into possibility.

Candlelight offers a way of seeing what is alive.
In its warmth and breathing movement, intimacy emerges,
drawing the body closer into a shared moment
where light and darkness meet

Nostalgia moves beneath it all,
sometimes a wound, sometimes a doorway,
always a compass revealing
what we long for and what we choose to carry forward.

The braid is seen as an extension of one’s life force,
mind, body, and spirit intertwined.
Strength, lineage, DNA, femininity and resilience,
an umbilical cord to what I have inherited
and a rope I throw forward into what I am becoming.

So what is a memory?
Not an archive but a living system,
a prediction braided from every experience,
rewritten each time we return to it,
each time it returns to us.

And what is the future?
Perhaps only the courage
to meet the unknown.
