Artist Statement

My artwork is deeply personal and directly shaped by my own experiences as a woman. Every piece I create stems from a specific moment, challenge, or reality I have lived through. By sharing these personal narratives through my art, I want to spark a larger, necessary conversation about what it means to navigate the world as a woman today.

I create life-sized and large-scale sculptures, often using animal figures as symbolic narrators to tell these stories. I use the sheer size and physical presence of these pieces to give a tangible, undeniable form to the invisible burdens we carry; from the daily realities of managing a chronic illness to the relentless, heavy weight of motherhood. There is a constant tension when a body, already strained by exhaustion, is forced to constantly adapt and push through rigid societal demands.

As a feminist artist, my work is driven by a desire to reclaim our own stories. I am deeply affected by how women's rights are continually eroded, and my art explores that constant friction between personal liberation and systemic constraint.

My making process is an intentional act of building and stabilizing. While I work heavily in clay, finishing it with glazes or cold surfaces, I also bring in other materials like plaster, wax, and fabric. Combining these different materials allows me to take the unpredictable, fluctuating pieces of a lived experience and shape them into something solid, permanent, and undeniable. Ultimately, I use these figures to demand physical space and to advocate for a future where women have full agency over their own bodies and lives.
