"I challenge conventional rules by cutting random materials into pieces and reassembling them into analog collages. Nature serves as the backdrop. Alternative realities are created with layered textures to evoke the fragile yet resilient spirit that both women and the natural world embody. Each piece, infused with a sense of agency, confronts the limitations of the everyday."
