About

My work has been shaped by experiences of migration, cultural hybridity, and the shifting nature of identity. Drawing from personal history and collective memory, I explore themes of nostalgia, displacement, and the layered meanings of home.

Through an interdisciplinary practice, I investigate how belonging and estrangement can coexist and how one’s sense of self is shaped by cultural expectations, memory, and inherited narratives. My practice often involves layering materials and images to create spaces that feel suspended between presence and absence, visibility and erasure.

Grounded in my perceived identity, my latest body of work examines how political discourse and media narratives shape who is recognized as fully human. I look at the processes through which certain communities are cast as threats, rendered suspect, and pushed beyond the boundaries of empathy. I am interested in how dehumanization operates not only through violence itself, but through language, repetition, and representation, mechanisms that make dispossession, suffering, or death appear acceptable, inevitable, or unremarkable.

Across different visual forms, I construct images and spaces that confront these mechanisms and unsettle their logic. My work holds attention on the moment where recognition vacillates, where humanity is granted, withheld, or strategically revoked. Through fragmentation, accumulation, layering and distortion, I wish to explore how perception is shaped and how certain lives become easier to dismiss, ignore, or reduce to abstraction.
