Artist statement
As an artist, she is constantly exploring new ways to understand the human body and the connection between humans and the natural world. In her work, she uses hair as a symbol of this connection and explores the potential for it to create a new kind of human.
By representing the human body in unconventional ways, she aims to create a dialogue around our relationship with nature and challenge conventional perspectives.
As she works on her paintings, she draws inspiration from historical and cultural perspectives on hair.
Through vibrant colors and organic shapes, she creates paintings that highlight the energy of hair and its ability to create a bridge between humanity and nature and create a visual representation of the connection between humans and the natural world.
Her paintings invite the viewer to reflect on their relationship with the natural world and consider how we can use this connection to create a better future for ourselves and the planet.
