Artist Statement

My practice emerges from the lived archive, those accumulated moments where culture, identity, and existence converge in quiet collision. I work in the spaces between visibility and erasure, where the personal becomes inseparable from the political.
Through photographs, videos, installations, and mixed media assemblages, I construct speculative geographies of belonging. These works ask: What does it mean to inhabit a body, a family, a place within the American narrative? I locate my investigations in the domestic, the ancestral, the overlooked spaces where race and identity are not merely performed but forged.

I layer, obscure, and reveal. I juxtapose text with image, memory with document, silence with testimony. Each work is an attempt to map not geography itself, but the psychological terrains we carry, the interior architecture shaped by displacement, inheritance, and the ongoing negotiation of self.

This is work about haunting and homemaking. About what we pass down and what we must unlearn. About the intricate weavings of visibility that bind culture to body, history to present, individual to collective.
