Artists Statement: In my artistic practice, I explore the intimate relationship between art and memory, using domestic items as a medium to evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection to the home.  My work is a reflection of personal memories, capturing fleeting moments and emotions tied to familiar objects and spaces. I transform everyday objects, imbuing them with my memories and experiences. Through a journey of pain and reflection, I've discovered beauty in life's most poignant moments. By incorporating domestic items such as textiles, furniture, and kitchenware into my art, I aim to create a sense of comfort and familiarity, inviting viewers to reminisce about their own experiences and relationships within the home. These objects serve as visual cues, triggering memories and emotions that are deeply rooted in our collective consciousness. Through the use of mixed media, I strive to blur the lines between art and everyday life, highlighting the beauty and significance of the mundane. My work serves as a testament to the power of memory and a reminder of the importance of cherishing the past while embracing the present. Alongside the theme of memory and familiarity, my work also plays into the importance of introspection. I am embracing the parts of life that challenge or hurt us. I am using art as therapy to overcome some of life's most painful memories. Through my work, I strive to unravel the complexities of the human experience, coming to terms with the idea of change and transformation. I create visual narratives that speak to this resilience, inspiring others to reflect on their lives and create change for themselves. As I navigate through the shadows of my past, I uncover fragments of pain and sorrow, yet I discover something profound in this process of exploration and excavation. This hidden beauty lies within the depths of my pain. Through my art, I invite others to join me on this journey of self-discovery and healing. I aim to challenge perceptions and provoke thought, encouraging viewers to confront their own struggles and find solace in the beauty that can be found in even the most painful of experiences.
