Personal Statement

In my painting practice, I delve into the liminal spaces of existence, where bodily fluids, domesticity, and the reference of the site of the body become significant elements. This is where the borderline between reality and imagination dissolves, and my work reflects holding, daydreaming, and tangling moments from a linear sense of time.
