As a maker, I am deeply thoughtful and introspective, drawn to themes of memory, identity, and the human experience. My process serves as a reflection of my curiosity about the world and a desire to provoke thought and inspire change. Inspired by a diverse range of artists, I incorporate elements of their styles and techniques into my own work while maintaining a unique and personal approach.
Memory plays a central role in this process, as I explore the concept of cellular memory and the ways in which our bodies carry memories of past experiences. This exploration often finds expression in my art, seeking to capture the essence of memory in its most raw and unfiltered form.
Identity is another recurring theme in my work, as I navigate the complexities of race, culture, and selfhood. Inspired by artists who challenge conventional notions of identity, I strive to create art that celebrates the richness and diversity of black culture.
Social justice is at the heart of my creative process, as I use my work to shine a light on issues of race, inequality, and resilience. Through art, I seek to provoke thought and inspire change, challenging viewers to confront their own biases and preconceptions.
The objects that I create are a reflection of deep introspection and an exploration of the complexities of the human experience. It is an invitation to see the world through different eyes and to experience the beauty and humanity that is found in the community around us.
