Artist Statement

As an artist, I explore themes of identity and the dismantling of stereotypes through the visual representation of softness.

My work is deeply personal, rooted in my experiences as a Black woman, and driven by a desire to tell the stories that are often silenced. I’m inspired by the tension between soft and dramatic aesthetics, and my creative process is one of careful research, sketching, and reflection before translating my thoughts into photographic form.

 

I strive to create art that not only speaks to the struggles and beauty of my identity but also evokes a visceral emotional response.

 

I hope my work inspires viewers to reconnect with their creativity, embrace their own gifts, and feel something profound—whether it’s warmth, calm, or a spark of inspiration to create.
