Artist Statement

Inspired by my own ever-shifting identity, many of my pieces explore themes such as sexuality, gender, cultural identity, and familial relationships. 

17 - 17

17 years of life, 17 pieces of art. As my first solo exhibition, 17-17 showcases original artworks centered around the theme of Identity exploration. Amidst stagnation brought by the pandemic, I wanted my works to encourage public reflection on the intense yet cathartic transformations of identity.
