Artist Statement
Artist Statement
Through my practice, I transform discarded textiles, fibers, and organic elements into wearable art, furniture, and installations that transcend mere function. Each piece becomes a vessel of meaning—honoring the past while embracing the possibilities of reinvention. I am drawn to the tactile nature of materials, exploring their textures, forms, and histories to create works that are both intentional and expressive.
Artist Biography
Artist Biography
I am a multimedia artist and designer, weaving together tradition, sustainability, and contemporary craftsmanship. My work is a fusion of heritage and innovation, where natural, reclaimed, and waste materials find new life through art.
Sustainability is not just a principle but a guiding force in my creative process. By reimagining what is often overlooked, I seek to spark conversations about resourcefulness, impermanence, and the beauty found in transformation. My work invites viewers to engage with materiality in new ways, challenging perceptions of waste and celebrating the artistry of renewal.

Dream Throne
Dream Throne
2023Medium: wool, found metal chair, waste from air-conditioning ducting, viscose, wood branches
Dream Throne is a powerful narrative of resilience and identity, capturing the emotional journey of a young girl striving to find her rightful place in a world that often judges by appearances. Constructed from an old steel chair, the piece stands as a testament to unwavering strength—its weathered metal symbolizing the hardships endured and overcome. Wrapped in layers of wool and reclaimed textile, the artwork gently reveals her feminine essence and the tender complexities of her identity.Intertwined among these materials, delicate twigs reach upward, embodying the fragility and persistent hope of her dreams. They remind us that even in the harshest environments, the seeds of aspiration can sprout and flourish. This installation speaks to her experience as she navigates a new land, challenging preconceptions about race and identity. It is a celebration of self-acceptance and the transformative power of belonging, inviting viewers to witness the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.

Bowls of Hope
Bowls of Hope
2023Wall Sculpture
Merino wool, plant fiber, wood frame
"Hope is the quiet force that carries us forward. Some hopes materialize into reality, while others remain as distant dreams. But regardless of the outcome, hope is what sustains us."This sculptural piece is a visual metaphor for the abundance of hope that exists in our lives. The delicately felted bowls—some open and expansive, others nestled into the form—symbolize the many hopes we hold. Some are fulfilled, tangible, and real, while others linger in the realm of aspiration, waiting for the right moment to unfold.The gradient transition from deep green to soft ivory reflects the journey of hope itself—rooted in resilience, moving through uncertainty, and rising into light. The organic shapes, reminiscent of natural growth patterns, suggest that hope is ever-present, evolving, and deeply connected to life’s cycles.Using merino wool and plant fiber, materials that embody warmth and softness, the piece evokes a sense of comfort and quiet persistence. The sculptural bowls, like vessels, serve as symbolic spaces where our dreams are nurtured, whether they come to fruition or remain as guiding stars."Bowls of Hope" invites contemplation on how hope shapes our lives, urging us to cherish both the dreams that come true and those that remain to be pursued. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of human aspiration.
