Artist Statement

My mind is an unreliable narrator. If I do not write something down, it will either be forgotten or distorted until it transforms into a false reality. My worst habit–losing thoughts quicker than they arrive–has led me to document everything: my memories, feelings, and dreams in journals. For the past few years, these journals have served as archives of my brain’s constant ramblings and major sources of inspiration for my creative process.

I have always experienced vivid dreams and nightmares that often reflect my current overwhelming emotions. The confusing imagery in dreams or the blinding anxiety from nightmares will grab my attention like a puzzle I am desperate to decipher. The influence of the unconscious mind creates a surrealistic style in my work. Rationalizing my dreams into designs gives me an outlet for the ideas or scenarios plaguing my brain for weeks.
