Artist Statement

Art gives me a sense of hope. It reminds me that there is always something new to try, explore, and understand through the act of making. It is my way of understanding both myself and the world around me. I work across multiple mediums and disciplines, each offering its own lens for self-expression and discovery.

Writing plays a central role in my practice, particularly as a space for mental health advocacy. By sharing my lived experience, I aim to foster connection and decrease stigma.

Across all disciplines, I aim to create work that feels honest and accessible. I want my work to offer space for reflection and communication.
