My work inhabits a third space—an in-between terrain shaped by displacement, legality, and intersectionality—where fixed ideas of politics, identity, and existence begin to dissolve. Rooted in collective diasporic experiences, the work explores borderland conditions as sites of fracture and transformation, where new ways of knowing and being emerge.

Rather than understanding displacement solely as loss, this practice approaches it as a space of potentiality. Myth, memory, and colonial histories converge to form speculative worlds that reassemble fragmented narratives into personal folklore. These symbolic environments resist dominant narratives of belonging and instead imagine futures that remain open, provisional, and continually unfolding.

Materiality is central to this inquiry. I work through acts of destruction, collage, layering, and recontextualization, engaging both natural and synthetic materials that bear traces of use, erosion, and time. Their ephemerality mirrors the instability of historical memory itself—how histories are preserved, obscured, or overwritten. By transforming existing materials, I am interested in how matter can act as a connective tissue between past, present, and future, anchoring bodies to land while simultaneously revealing the fragility of those attachments.

Working across a multiplicity of mediums, I place bodies within refracted and unstable landscapes that mirror the uncertainty of migration itself. I explore the relationship between the figure and its environment through visibility, layering, and partial concealment, using material processes as a means of masking and revelation. Through this experimentation, the work engages the present while gesturing toward future imaginaries—ones that emerge through movement, rupture, and collective resilience.
