7 Fun Facts about me:
Artist Statement
I am a storyteller. My works combine form and narration; investigating my long-standing curiosity about the human mind and the bizarre norms of society. My creative journey is fuelled by the contrast between my carefree childhood as opposed to the dichotomy of social expectations and the profound struggle of self-acceptance as an adult.
I merge familiar yet enigmatic forms with vibrant colours and graphics, creating a captivating fusion of 2D and 3D elements. This interplay invites viewers into a thought-provoking dialogue, where satire and phantasmagoria intertwine to narrate a personal yet universal stories. My work reflects challenging yet optimistic goals.
My sculptures serve as allegorical representations of social issues; attempting to break the stereotypical binary roles and deconstruct gender identity!
I love ceramics because it allows me to sculpt, draw, and paint all in one medium which serves me the best for my artistic expression.
