My practice explores time, impermanence, and the fragility of human connections. Change in my life is abrupt and relentless, shaping how I navigate memory—moments slip away, distort, or disappear. Rather than reconstructing a universal truth, my work preserves personal recollections, solidifying what might otherwise be lost.

Rooted in materiality and storytelling, my process involves constructing sculptural vessels, fragmented objects, and textured surfaces as sites for inscribed memory. Ceramics and sugar serve as my primary materials—clay records history through marks and glazes, while sugar embodies the instability of memory, crystallizing and dissolving over time. Sugar distorts, obscures, or disappears, leaving behind only remnants.

As a queer child of immigrants, I negotiate cultural traditions, expectations, and autonomy. My work captures moments of tension where history and identity collide. Recurring motifs—animals, celestial forms—serve as markers of time, mapping personal and collective histories. Through materializing memory’s instability, I explore what is remembered, lost, and reconstructed, balancing permanence with impermanence.My practice explores time, impermanence, and the fragility of human connections.
