Using bold color, dripping marks, and textured surfaces, I build mask-like faces and elongated figures that explore identity, ancestry, and spiritual presence. My work holds the tension between concealment and revelation—inviting viewers to feel what is carried beneath the surface.

before the world tell us who we are

This work speaks to the self before it is spoken aloud—who we are before we are named by family, culture, language, or history. It exists prior to assigned roles and expectations, before explanation or categorization takes hold. Identity is held here in its most open state: inherited, felt, and unresolved.
