ARTIST STATEMENT
Through playful interpretations of body image and disembodiment, her interdisciplinary practice explores how we fabricate our identities as individuals in contemporary society. She seeks to expose how boundaries between natural and technological, organic and architectural are malleable and unstable. Using groups of figures, materials, and objects assembled in various ways, her work examines the tensions between individuality and collectivity, and the universal reality of living as one among many.
