My Visual Language

Collage anchors my practice—I work with painting, drawing, photography, digital printing, and found materials, building up layers until I discover what I'm trying to say. The materials speak to each other in ways that reveal new possibilities. I balance this with action painting, which lets me explore gesture, line, and scale in a more immediate way.

These methods help me examine identity, memory, and how we understand social change. The act of cutting and layering, combined with gestural marks, reflects how we actually experience life—not as straightforward stories but as layered, complicated realities that we're always trying to make sense of. My work becomes a way of thinking through these complexities rather than simplifying them.
