Art
Painting, digital processes, pen plotting, image manipulation. The work investigates self-construction: how identity accumulates and erodes, how we know ourselves through relation, what it means to labor toward a self that's never fixed. Systematic processes of addition and subtraction; the surface as a site where identity is made and unmade.
