ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a multidisciplinary artist working in photography and mixed-media painting. My work explores themes of grief, dreams and the disorienting process of becoming.

I work with oil pastels, acrylics, gouache, polychromos, layered fiber paper and found materials. In photography, I move between street documentation and creative portraiture.

A central theme in my work is the whale - creatures of timelessness, endless migration, and weightlessness despite their immense mass. Whales have become the anchor point in my practice. Their presence in my work speaks to the possibility of carrying weight without being crushed by it.

My artistic development was largely shaped by my time living abroad in Korea and the profound loss of a significant other to suicide. Grief reshaped my relationship with the world and brought me face-to-face with questions about purpose and perception. In the aftermath of loss, I discovered that curiosity could be a lifeline. A borrowed camera became my reentry point.

My artist residency with the Hechyeomoyeo had a significant influence on my creative direction, deepening my commitment to flow-based work and cross-cultural exchange. I now collaborate with artists and content creators internationally.
