Abstract
I explore the mystery of suffering and how in that moment of vulnerability, we come together. This sensation of pain originates from our first interaction with the world and with our close reality. To process and understand suffering, I confront it. Through textiles and handmade felt, I create pieces and installations that reflect these experiences of suffering and the resulting fragility. Regardless of language, race, or culture, I intend to show the viewer how humans are connected and how we can relate to each other through our individual and collective pain. Art becomes the dimension through which I can transform grief into hope, fear into opportunity, and ugliness into beauty.
