Artist Statement

 The pursuit of one’s happiness in a course of suffering inspires my artistic approach and is a recurring theme. “why are people suffering? The source of the pain felt by a person can be from a social or political problem, or from internal factors. In society, each individual's story reflects and affects the whole community. My art captures images of suffering, and the agony of the disadvantaged in the modern age. It stems from the challenges that arise in our life from inequality, social injustice, feminism, and environmental issues.   I also consider the notion of human nature and how it is projected onto the world. I twist subject matter in artworks and portray them using abstract symbolism.

  I enjoy working in the mediums of painting, sculpture, installation, and video. I also often combine technological elements, such as mechanical movement and lights, into my work. I am interested in creating action between viewer and art, that leads to a sensational experience. One of my goals is to enhance the spectator’s experience through interaction with my art. It allows me to communicate with the public through reinterpretation and reconstruction of an aesthetic perspective on inconvenient but considerable issues.

  I am a dreamer and my art reflects the utopia I’m dreaming about. I pursue personal affinity rather than biologically based identity. My goal is to build an ecofeminism utopia that includes everyone regardless of gender, race, class, and species in the world. I present images in ways that may elicit discomfort, however, it is significant in the world that I am inter-related and interdependent.  Ultimately, my work will contribute to creating a better world beyond communicating with the public.
