My practice reflects the objectified representations of my female body, aiming to intertwine the
sexual and social normative. Sculptures, specific found objects, self portraiture, video based
performance, and audio are the materials and formats used to create provocative works to
subvert traditional notions of sex and identity. I create works that are imbued with the body, and
use semiotics of bold colors and vignettes to abstract quotidian life, to break the silence of my
childhood incest trauma. These strategies engage in forcing the politics of the personal to
disorient and confront debates around gender, power, and the liberty of expression in art and
life through my autobiographical work.

I explore my body as a tool and also an object to perform live, in videos and installations. I
make my body representative to hold space for dialogue but take up space on the walls of
institutions that continue to uphold colonial hierarchies. I am investigating intersectionality and
nuances within feminism and the themes that objectify those preconceived notions. The body
remembers. Psychological pain and suffering are the ways the body articulates traumatic
experiences. I use trauma to create art. I intentionally arrange objects that reference the body
and gender space evoke the sensations of post traumatic stress disorder. I make art to
process, cope and rewire my brain’s understanding of the reality of PTSD. I assert agency and
reclaim the lost power as a child now as a critical independent thinker and maker to advocate
and educate having hard conversations around uncomfortable.
