Statement

My work is drawn from memory, emotion, and experience of living in metropolitans. I investigate scenes and objects that I encounter daily and utilize them to build psychological landscapes.

Freedom and Containment, gravity, time, and shadow are repeating themes in my work. I created a Shadow character who is anonymous and fluid. The anonymity of the shadow avatar not only is a safe camouflage but also provides a sense of freedom-free from gravity, and social identities that separate people from time to time. Sometimes she is a female persona, sometimes she is a leaf, sometimes she is a spider.
