Artist Statement
My artistic practice explores memory as a fluid and evolving process. I view memory not as a fixed archive but as something alive and constantly in flux. It behaves like water: adapting, seeping through layers, eroding boundaries, and reshaping itself over time.
As a woman and an immigrant artist navigating multiple languages, cultures, and geographies, I experience memory as an in-between space never fully anchored, yet deeply rooted in fragments. These fragments may take the form of rituals, objects, or oral stories, which I collect and transform through my work.
I work with tactile and organic materials like papier-mâché, embracing imperfection, layering, and change. The material’s ability to dissolve, absorb, and reform reflects my interest in transformation, not just of form, but also of identity and narrative. Each piece is part of a larger process of becoming, shaped by memory, marked by loss, and open to reimagination.
