I think about the emotional afterlives of memory, identity, and unspoken experience. I’m drawn to the spaces between what is felt and what is said—between presence and absence, clarity and ambiguity, grief and humor. Through sculpture, installation, and object-based interventions, I investigate how emotional residue becomes embedded in the materials and gestures we carry forward. Rooted in personal history and collective rituals, my practice considers how loss is not only marked by absence, but by what lingers—an unfinished gesture, a familiar object, the repetition of a quiet task. I’m interested in how meaning accumulates through fragments: a peeled apple, a medal for something that can’t be named, a shape that feels like home but isn’t. Humor and tenderness are essential components in my work. They operate not as opposites, but as intertwined strategies for navigating vulnerability, shame, and care. I’m interested in the friction between visibility and privacy, the desire to be seen and the instinct to hide. Rather than offering resolution, my practice holds space for ambivalence—for feelings that resist articulation and for narratives that remain unresolved. It is an ongoing attempt to make space for what we carry, even when we don’t mean to.
