"My work explores the complex interplay between self-concept and societal narratives, particularly the roles I have had to navigate as a multiethnic woman from an immigrant family. This exploration is deeply intertwined with my lifelong engagement with movement, stemming from navigating the liminal space between the narratives imposed upon women of color and my own lived experience as a Filinegra woman in America. By reclaiming my heritage, I aim to explore the complexities of identity formation within a contemporary context characterized by the rise of diverse and multifaceted identities.

My history in various forms of dance significantly influences my artistic process. Motion informs not only my technique but also my approach to creating form. As a lifelong mover, I strive to capture themes of transformation and progression within my sculptures, translating the dynamic nature of my own life into my artistic expression. Through figurative ceramic work, I employ rough and unrefined textures to convey the essence of my models' identities, focusing on the raw experience of emotion rather than a precise physical interpretation of the figure itself. This emphasizes the universality of the human experience in an attempt to connect and relate rather than separate.

 Working with a medium that is both fragile and forgiving mirrors the complexities of how I aim to translate these experiences. My affinity with clay has become a symbol of my own life practice. The process of my art inspires me as much as I am inspired to create it—a reciprocal relationship that shapes both of us. The rough, unrefined surfaces of the clay reflect the rawness of lived experience and the struggle to reconcile internal identity with external expectations."
