Paper Prayers

Artist Statement: Repetition, pattern, structure, disruption, and renewal are central to my practice. My intersectional diasporic identity is a starting point for exploring the inheritance of craft and knowledge, memory, and change. Through materials and process, I cultivate these tensions without a predetermined outcome.
