STATEMENT

My work explores how we reconcile and reconstruct personal and collective loss – loss of innocence, loss of identity, loss of environment … loss of life. I approach each piece as a place of surrender where themes of continuity, vulnerability and healing are investigated. This is a process of unselfing, renewal, and transformation. 

Loss creates a psychological rift, a doubling and exposure to the symbolic. The path toward healing can trigger an acknowledgement of isolation, an attempt at comprehension, a recognition of unavailability and helplessness, and initiates a journey into the unknown. Healing is decentering; it involves re-learning how to live in a world without, to creatively adapt and embrace a new reality.
