Artist statement
In her practice, the artist explores the formation of identity through the interaction of external circumstances, collective memory, and personal experience. Her works construct a space between memory and imagined imagery, where fragments of recollection intertwine with dreamlike motifs or inner visions. Through these hybrid states, she traces the dynamics of internal transformations—their fragility, velocity, and potential force.
