My practice investigates the relationship between memory, embodiment, and visual abstraction in order to articulate a more comprehensive lens of knowledgemaking. Through painting, mixed media, and videoperformance, I explore how personal and collective histories become inscribed onto the body and onto material surfaces. Grounded in an interest in opacity, fragmentation, and the instability of representation, I re-present diasporic and gendered subjectivities through large scale collagework and installations.
In my painting, employ layered mark‑making, erasure, and surface manipulation to create forms suspended between figuration and abstraction. These gestures function as ways to reflect on the nonlinear processes through which identity is constructed, disrupted, and reimagined. Rather than offering fixed narratives, the work proposes an attentive look, one that is patient, and open to multiplicity. In doing so, it creates a visual language capable of holding complexity, one that acknowledges the limits of the material body while insisting on the presence of the subject.
