I am drawn to how threads—both literal and metaphorical—bind, unravel, and reconfigure the stories we carry. This extends to the body, particularly women’s bodies, which are inscribed with histories of control, resistance, and erasure. My research into contraception, abortifacients, and reproductive autonomy informs my practice, as I examine the ways bodies, like fibers, hold memory, absorb trauma, and resist constraint.
the urge to articulate a language of resilience—one that emerges through rupture, repair, and the reimagining of agency in a fractured world— will be the healing. By integrating natural elements and craft, I am constructing the bridge to the ephemeral and the enduring, grounding complex political discourse in the tactile and visceral.
Through casting the delicate forms of plants in metal, embedding them in handmade paper, and imprinting their shadows, I explore cycles of growth, decay, and resistance. These processes are meditations on care, patience, and the shared resilience of the individual's body and the collective power of the commonality. Inviting viewers to consider the enduring connections between autonomy, memory, and the intricate relationships of the personal and the political.
