Artist Statement
At certain times in our lives, we encounter life-altering experiences that transform our identities and shape us as individuals. During these challenging and often painful times, such experiences can lead to feelings of disconnection from our former selves and what is comfortable and familiar to us. My work highlights this sense of disconnection with objects hanging and being held on by thread, and the strangeness that accompanies personal change and growth, as if the aspects of ourselves and our world that once existed have become unrecognizable yet still contains those feelings of holding on. I create these multiple, obscured and mystical realities for my subjects to illustrate the intricate layers of change towards individual identity that reside in an almost otherworldly realm. While this work seeks to emphasize that transition from a familiar identity to the discomfort of adapting to
a new reality, it embraces that change and encourages curiosity about our ever-evolving identity.
