My practice explores how fragility and care shape the endurance of memory. Working across drawing, painting, and installation, I engage processes that record transformation—burning, gathering, preserving, layering. Each gesture traces the residue of time and the quiet labor of attention. What remains—marks of heat, fragments of shell, traces of carbon—are less materials than evidence of presence: signs of what was lived, consumed, and remembered.

​

I am interested in how matter holds memory. Through slow, repetitive actions, I translate ephemeral experience into visual forms that hover between making and unmaking. Burning, in particular, has become both method and metaphor—a way of inscribing time directly into the surface. The tension between destruction and preservation, between the seen and the lost, defines the space my work inhabits—a space sustained by care and the slow attention of making.

 

Living between cultures, I understand identity as layered and shifting, composed of fragments gathered across geographies and generations. My work reflects this condition: fragile yet persistent, rooted in rituals of continuity. The gestures and residues that shape my practice become metaphors for belonging and for the quiet persistence of memory amid change.

​

My work engages a contemplative lineage of abstraction, where stillness and presence become forms of thought. Echoing Agnes Martin and Barnett Newman, I explore the space between silence and encounter, reimagining the sublime through intimacy rather than monumentality. In conversation with Doris Salcedo, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Lee Mingwei, I treat care and vulnerability as temporal conditions—fragility not as endurance against time, but illumination through it.
