Artist Statement
My work centers on intersectional topics, such as menstrual justice, generational trauma, and religious conservatism. The driving force behind my work is my mixed religious and cultural upbringing. Drawing from my experiences, I set out to dismantle and challenge topics considered taboo while creating dialogue within the works relating to history and personal experience.
