I am a third culture artist caught between worlds where identities blur and meanings shift. My work often emerges from the bilingual ambiguity of words and images, exploring the spaces in how we perceive, interpret, and connect. This perpetual state of in-betweenness shapes a practice rooted in introspection—a reflection of the elusive search for belonging and resonance.
Growing up I found solace in the eternal rhythm of nature, staring at the sun and moon, feeling the quiet pull of something greater. These moments, time-less and tender, linger in my work as abstractions of the bird’s eye perspective I carry within, becoming metaphors for the layered emotional terrain of existence.
I intertwine logographic and phonetic language with abstraction, creating a hybrid visual language that loosens the rigid ways we read and interpret. This interplay invites a poetic dialogue where words and strokes blur boundaries and reveal new ways of understanding. My work seeks not to resolve these ambiguities but to revel in their vitality, offering glimpses of connection within the fragmented world.
