“Through photography, digital tools and software, assemblage, and mixed-media installations, I explore these intergenerational narratives using multimedia and mixed media works, highlighting the ways family and geography carry lessons, values, and cultural wisdom forward as legacy.”

“We are part of the chain that passes our ancestral knowledge, joy, and strength from one generation to the next. We do not only inherit trauma. We inherit love, laughter, ceremony, and wisdom.”

“Channeling the strength and purpose of my ancestors, I picked up the silver thread and sewed into the canvas, pulling the pieces of my painting and of myself together. While my pieces remain scattered, they are not broken. Across space and time, my history, my present, and my future are joined. My pain transformed into something beautiful, regenerative.”

“The image captures daily life shaped by community, labor, and resilience, reflecting my interest in diasporic spaces and personal sovereignty: the ability to claim authority over one’s body, identity, narrative, and vision.”
