ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, I am drawn to the power of personal and collective memory and the expression of memory through gesture. My work explores the ways in which our past experiences shape our present reality and perception. My aim is to create pieces that are visually engaging and emotionally resonant, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own experiences and the role that memory plays in shaping their lives.
