Artist StatementMy work explores the tension between self-acceptance and the physical and emotional discomfort of existing in a body. Through fiber art and digital techniques, I examine societal expectations of the body and the realities of lived experience, revealing its complexities. The precision of hand-stitching reflects obsessive control, while glitches and distortions expose the fragility of perfection. My work also investigates intimacy and vulnerability, questioning how we share space, touch, and language in ways that can both connect and alienate us.
