"I re-create different objects and events found within the domestic space through a variety of mediums. They then become components that are manipulated to become surreal entities that emotionally inhabit space, not necessarily occupy an area. In doing so, this decision is meant to act as a placeholder for anxiety/joy or an emotional dimension.
My work focuses on addressing the affects colonialism and American imperialism has on the children of first-generation immigrants living in the United States through storytelling. My research continues with storytelling, blurring the lines between personal and public archives, exploring the non-linear and performative facets that can lead me to connect with others who share experiences parallel to my own. To explore the placeholder that may be a steppingstone for future generations.”
