“My work explores the quiet, intimate spaces of memory – especially those shaped by family, domestic rituals, and time. I’m drawn to once-ordinary objects that now carry emotional weight. Through repetitive handcraft and slow labor, I reflect on grief, care, and the impossibility of full recovery. Making becomes both an act of devotion and a way to hold space for what’s been lost. I’m interested in how love lingers in the everyday, how repetition echoes absence, and how the body remembers through touch. My practice is rooted in the small, the personal, and the soft persistence of holding on.”
