I am an interdisciplinary visual artist exploring the intersection of cultural inheritance, memory, and the spaces we inhabit. My work examines my experience as a first-generation American woman and how intergenerational legacy and societal norms shape identity. I work across various media, including printmaking, drawing, collage, and everyday objects. Research-based and diaristic, I regularly incorporate daily maintenance activities into my practice, using the overlooked materials, activities, and rituals of everyday life to expose the social structures that shape lived experiences. Whether archiving vacuum bag debris or reinstalling laundry at alternative sites, I repeatedly integrate my domestic sphere into my work. Screen printing with household dust or transferring barely decipherable journal entries onto transparent chiffon fabric, I draw attention to that which is not always visible, acknowledged, or valued.
