Artist Statement
My Body of work analyzes social constructs and the constraints that come from society. I explore how these constraints effect me and my identity and create narratives based on personal experiences. Utilizing my journey of self exploration I form human figures depicting the challenges and growth with finding yourself through rough textures and exploration of form.
