My work begins with stories. Some are found in family photographs and archives. Others are passed down through memory, carried in oral traditions, or shared with me by people reflecting on their own histories. I am interested in the ways stories survive — how they are preserved, transformed, and carried across generations despite attempts to erase or overlook them.My work begins with stories.

I am interested in the ways stories survive — how they are preserved, transformed, and carried across generations despite attempts to erase or overlook them.

Through layered compositions that merge image, symbol, and material, I explore the histories and cultural legacies of Indigenous, Black, and Brown communities. I often draw from archival records, personal photographs, ancestral narratives, and cultural traditions, bringing them together to create spaces where memory and history can exist side by side. Rather than presenting a singular account, I embrace the complexity of lived experience and the many voices that contribute to our understanding of the past.

African visual traditions frequently appear throughout my work, serving as points of connection between ancestry, spirituality, and cultural continuity. I am drawn to the ways symbols, objects, and images can carry knowledge across time, linking contemporary experiences to histories that exist beyond the present moment.

In many ways, my practice reflects the role of a griot—gathering, interpreting, and sharing stories that connect individuals to a larger cultural lineage. Ultimately, my work is an invitation to remember. It asks viewers to consider how identity is shaped by the stories we inherit, the histories we carry, and the narratives we choose to pass forward.
