I never set out to become a historian—I simply wanted certain narratives to hold space. In doing so, I found myself navigating through a heap of data that demanded preservation, moments that might otherwise might be forgotten. My work blends personal experience with collective history, using space, time, and memory as tools to explore the intersection, challenge the current and reimagine the past, examining how these shape our understanding of identity, place, and belonging.

Through large-scale, immersive collages, I layer archival materials with personal photography to create new records. Collage allows me to explore the complexity of memory. By reconstructing paper into geometric forms, I intentionally disrupt linear narratives, inviting viewers to see identity as fluid and dynamic. 

Using the urban landscape as both subject and backdrop, my work examines overlooked spaces and reimagined interiors, exploring how place shapes our sense of self. These compositions are dialogues on belonging, prompting viewers to consider their role in reshaping collective histories within broader social and political contexts.

The desire to understand myself and motivation soon evolved into an examination of personal and collective identity and how perception plays a pivotal role in how society interprets our values. As I became deeply immersed in research, I began to question my own identity and how it translated in my work. My multi-racial background proved to be a rich source of reflection and inspiration.
