Through my work, I tell stories that trace connections following a maternal line, rather than the patriarchal one that was forced on me by mainstream history. I use various means to manipulate images from my personal and cultural archives to draw cosmic connections that resonate within. Oil painting, collage, textiles, and printed layers intermingle, obscuring and revealing recurring elements that suggest history, migration, and transformation. It is my attempt at rematriating the timeline and tracing an alternative point of view previously erased by the process of colonialism.

The stories I imagine aren’t ones in which documentation reassures cultural memory. Instead, fantasy, women’s postures, faces, and half sentences too embarrassing to be uttered aloud populate my work. My paintings transform shame into vulnerability as I grapple with memories on the brink of erasure. It is meant to function as Herstory and acts as a personal mythology, restoring a balanced interpretation both intellectually and spiritually.
