About

In my artistic journey, I find inspiration and comfort in the simplicity and symbolism of circles. These shapes represent more than geometric forms; they embody wholeness, calmness, comfort, and safety. They also represent loneliness, resignation, cage, emptiness, and restriction. They serve as a visual reminder of the strong connection I shared with my Mother who tragically passed away from cancer in 2016. My Mother was not just a parent, she was my sanctuary, my best friend, my anchor and my rock. I still feel lost without her. 

Like a circle that encompasses everything, within her presence, she surrounded me with a sense of security and completeness. Still, these circles encompass my emotional and mental well-being through my life's journey, which comes out in positive and negative ways. My artwork is embedded with the memories of the impact she had on my life. My art is like a tribute to her, a way to keep her memory alive and feel her presence even though she has gone and sometimes how things often feel dark in a world without her, which leaves me feeling lonely, empty and trapped in a cycle of darkness and despair. 

Through my artwork, I seek to capture the essence of my emotions in the spontaneity of creating and producing my artwork in the present moment. In my current body of work, this time, I decided to focus on those negative words. By creating my artwork, it is helping me work through my feelings, by enabling me to release my suppressed emotions.

In addition to my fascination with circles, my art embraces sculpture and installation. I am captivated by the tactile quality of textures, and the way different materials can evoke various sensations and emotions. My sculptures often incorporate mixed media, blending natural and synthetic elements to create rich, layered textures that give the viewers the feeling that they would like to touch and feel it.

The processes I tend to use most in my work are textiles, sewing and metalwork. a lot of my work uses a mixed media approach.
