about me
Memory lives in our senses — and from those memories, we find our voices. But in an age of hyper-connection, we've traded grounding experiences for the instant gratification of online culture, losing touch with the vulnerabilities and lessons that once brought us together.
It's from this tension that my work emerges. Through experiential, multi-sensory installations combining physical objects, sound, video, and interactivity, I explore how our five senses can spark conversations about perception, identity, and shared humanity — particularly the histories that go unnoticed or exist at the intersection of our collective experiences. Our stories don't exist in isolation; they carry the weight of the generations before us. My work aims to rebuild the bridges between us, reminding us that while we are each unique, our shared experiences reveal our deep capacity for human connection.
