“In the studio, time slows. I use traditional materials and everyday objects not to comfort but to confront. These forms carry cultural memory. They’re coded, overlooked, worn thin. Through quiet shifts and sustained labor, I build tension between what we think we know and what we try to ignore.

Working slowly is a choice. It pushes back against speed, distraction, and the ease of disconnection. Making by hand keeps me present. I want the work to do the same for others. To offer a pause. A moment to look closer and feel more.

I pull from pop culture, kitsch, and the readymade to ask who decides what matters. Who gets remembered. Who gets left behind. Accessibility isn’t just a gesture. It’s a position. This is for you, too.”
