Artist Statement:
As an artist, I draw inspiration from diverse cultures, using my memories and experiences to inform my work. My work is deeply invested in reflecting on cultural conflict and identity, and I strive to push the boundaries of my works to expand my understanding of these themes. Through my archival body, I create multi-sensory performances that explore the transience of the physical world, delving into the interplay between material and space through interventions, disruptions, harmonies, and reinventions.
I am constantly investigating the intricate relationship between the audience and the performer. The audience's sensitivity is a crucial aspect of my artistic expression, and I work to establish and maintain a connection with them during my performances. This connection is vital to my exploration of the boundaries between performer and audience, and to my understanding of the dynamic relationship between the two.
