Artists Statement

My research is a visual study of mental health and how the overstimulation of human senses and emotions affect one's perception, communication, and everyday life. Within my practice, I explore different media such as rope cord, cheesecloth, and handmade paper to visually depict my own experiences and struggles with mental health in both a 3-Dimensional and 2-Dimensional manner.

Utilizing vivid colors, dynamic placement, and layering of fibrous materials, I can convey a sense of overstimulation and chaos that my own body experiences every single day.

My research benefits not only the lifelong journey of understanding myself but also breeds a new perspective of mental health and empathy in a society that largely frowns upon the topic of mental instability.
