Creative Passion
Artistry
My artistry is rooted in conviction and craft — a practice that weaves memory, music, visual textures, and film into stories that are intimate yet universal. I blend memoir and performance, hand-stitched objects and moving image, to create work that honors vulnerability and cultural memory while demanding agency and visibility. Whether writing a chapter, directing a scene, or producing a small film, I center voice, ritual, and the tactile details that make lived experience resonate. My work invites audiences into shared spaces of empathy and action, using aesthetic risk and disciplined technique to turn private histories into collective invitations for reflection and change.
