Artist Statement:
Across my work, I explore the intersection of personal narrative and cultural ritual. Capturing moments that emerge from real spaces, lived experiences, and the nuances of my own community. I’m drawn to the question of why we do what we do: what makes our rituals meaningful, what threads hold our histories together, and how the intimate can reflect broader cultural truths. Through visual storytelling, I seek to create moments of empathy and connection, revealing human stories within the sweep of fashion, culture, and identity.
