Fractured Light Box, Screenprint on kozo, starch paste, 11 × 14 in.
My work investigates how we look, perceive, and remember through digital and craft-based technologies. I collage, weave, and patch together images, drawings, and matrices to reflect both what shifts and what remains, revealing the assembled and entangled nature of our surroundings. This process draws me toward cyclical forces of erosion, repair, and transformation, inviting reflection on how we exist within, move through, and shape the environments around us. Working across book arts, printmaking, and textiles, I explore how memory is held, distorted, and reimagined through material forms. These works become memory-landscapes, which are layered, stacked, fading, and persistently returning. Within them, I trace tensions born from dissonant moments, uncovering intimacies and vulnerabilities that inform our capacity to endure. Throughout my practice, I aim to capture the energy of human experience and our ability to process space and emotion in an instant.
