I explore human relationships, self-acceptance, cathartic release, and how psychological trauma affects the body through photography and mixed media, incorporating materials such as metal castings, metal wire, and broken glass. These materials function as metaphors for generational trauma, memory, and resilience, carrying both physical histories and symbolic weight within my practice.

 My artwork conveys these notions through my vulnerability and my choice of materials and media primarily through photography and metal casting. The delicacy of the photographic paper is balanced by the resilience of the metal, and bringing them together in this way shows the delicacy of the human psyche and the resilience we can cultivate through the choice to continue onward after trauma. Through the cathartic act of making, I explore the lasting effects of addiction, childhood trauma, and sexual assault while advocating for healing and recovery. My work invites viewers to engage in conversations about experiences that are often stigmatized. My work serves to the assumption that survivors must carry these burdens alone or that recovery follows a simple, linear path. By making these deeply personal experiences visible, I reveal their universality and foster empathy, understanding, and connection. Ultimately, my work seeks to replace silence with dialogue and isolation with recognition.
