While I began with acrylic on canvas, my practice is evolving, textiles have become a central language. Fabric feels close to the body, emotionally charged and tender. It holds memory, tradition, and a softness that invites care.

​​I explore the emotional and physical experience of the body: its moods, memories, strength, and the invisible weight it carries, both personal and ancestral. Through themes of womanhood, trauma, empowerment, and childhood, I try to create space for connection and shared vulnerability, echoing how we move between presence and introspection. Even when joyful, there’s often something quieter beneath, more reflective, even heavy. I’m interested in that contrast between what we show on the outside and what we carry inside.

Materials are not just tools, but collaborators. I build my own canvases, giving me control over scale and presence. With textiles, I surrender more. I sew by hand, dye with natural pigments, and sometimes ferment organic matter like scoby leather. These processes are slow, imperfect, and deeply embodied. They allow me to work with care, memory, and time, to root myself in the stories of those who came before me, and to honour the quiet gestures of making.
