Artist Statement

What happens in the space between contradiction—when opposing forces don’t resolve, but coexist?

I navigate the tension between empathy and apathy, order and chaos, past and present. My work exists in the in-between, where contradictions collide and transformation emerges. Through film, sculpture, and design, I bend rigid structures, both physical and conceptual, forcing them to break, shift, and reassemble.

I am drawn to the cracks—spaces where memory and identity blur, where reality fractures and reforms. Inspired by Martin Puryear’s defiance of material constraints and Maya Deren’s surreal disruptions of time and space, I work with materials and narratives that resist easy definition. In my hands, they twist, unravel, and reconfigure, revealing new possibilities.

I do not restore order; I disrupt and reimagine. In the liminal spaces between control and spontaneity, harmony and discord, I craft experiences that challenge perception.

The in-between is not absence—it is a force of its own, where fragmentation becomes creation.
