"Guided by my neurodivergence, I investigate the ontology of consciousness through ecological and feminist motifs. I seek to unravel ingrained notions of hegemonic domination, binary logic, and anthropocentrism. To examine the liminal connections linking the mind, self, and external reality, I approach the creative process as a simultaneous expression of play and philosophical inquiry, viewing my art as an ever-evolving vessel for exploration and connection. I realized this almost a decade ago, during my fifth and final psychiatric ward stay, when the constant feeling of being misunderstood morphed into an epiphany: channel it all into art.

My emotions and states of being are most accessible to others through art. I've learned to alchemize my past trauma from a childhood tainted by abuse into mixed-media prismatic dreamscapes, often incorporating discarded materials as an ode to the Earth. I ultimately view the dialectical process between concept and creation as an inherent art form in and of itself – even more so than any individual output that society deems to be a ‘work’ of art. I believe that the fundamental art I am creating comes first and foremost in the form of insights, inquiries, and approaches. The tangible artistic forms that materialize emerge from inhabiting such divergent ways of thinking, reflecting the multilayered aspects of reality and perception.

With imaginative inquiry as my preferred apparatus, I gravitate toward lesser-explored conceptual realms that challenge the exploitative systems of power that govern our present. In doing so, I seek to replace these convictions with boundless optimism and a vision of universal cooperation. Through my art practice, I aspire to help cultivate greater levels of compassion, curiosity, and conscious expansion—both in myself and others. I find excitement and liberation in ripping up my art only to completely transform it into something new. This process of destruction, adaptation, and configuration mirrors how I artistically alchemize my own past suffering and the suffering of others that I witness into prismatic forms of optimism, care, and wonderment.”
