My work explores the moments that shape who I am, from cherished to unpleasant and everything in between. These moments of growth are conveyed through sculpted figures that capture a cartoon-like version of myself which is reinforced by solid blocks of color and simplified features. The humorous approach to the narratives, along with the generalized characters, provides an opening to reach a wider audience. By sharing my life-experiences, I hope to connect with the viewer on a more personal level. I believe self-reflection is an essential part of human evolution and individual growth and that we can empower ourselves by contemplating our experiences, understanding how and why we embody them, and making conscious choices going forward. For me, living is about reflecting, learning, and evolving the person I want to be…and I for one, find it all goes down easier with laughter.
