Artist Statement

My artistic practice emerged from a desire to shift from interpreting others’ visions to articulating my own. This transition marked a pivotal point in my creative evolution, prompting me to question, deconstruct, and reimagine the relationship between performance, storytelling, and selfhood. Drawing from my background in theatre direction and cinematic storytelling, I approach my work through an interdisciplinary lens—merging live performance, video, projection, and costume to shape a visual language that embodies personal and collective narratives.

As an artist-researcher, I use my body as a vessel—a diving suit—to explore questions of belonging, identity, and experimental narrative. My work often lives in the spaces between mediums and categories, layering forms and aesthetics to reveal the complexities of self-representation.

I am drawn to the fluid nature of identity and the body’s potential to resist, disrupt, and transform societal expectations. Inspired by the radical possibilities of performance art, I explore the tension between performer and persona, reality and artifice—often through a lens of humor. My practice interrogates gender as both a construct and an unfolding performance, challenging normative frameworks with playfulness and precision.

Rooted in queer, feminist, and decolonial thought, I strive to reimagine how bodies are represented, moving beyond fixed or binary definitions. I activate the body as a site of both intimacy and resistance—a space where private experience meets public expression. Through this, I aim to foster alternative ways of seeing and understanding selfhood, identity, and presence.

Ultimately, I see my practice as a reflective space—where inner inquiry opens into collective dialogue. By inviting audiences into hybrid, immersive encounters, I hope to expand how stories are told, how identities are witnessed, and how art can become a process of continual becoming.
