Memory, loss, and time are central to my collage practice. I am drawn to how moments are captured, preserved, and reshaped-how fragments of the past become tangible memories and change over time.
Working with resurfaced magazines from 1950 to 1979, | hand-cut fragile, pulpy pages through a process of quiet repetition. Turning pages and isolating forms becomes both method and meditation. Figures, body parts, and inanimate objects are lifted from their original contexts, allowing emotions tied to fading or forgotten memories to surface.
This process is inherently sentimental and melancholic. I draw from family history, domestic spaces, and personal moments of joy or sadness, reassembling them into abstracted, two-dimensional compositions. Through these works, I aim to create spaces where personal memory intersects with collective experience, inviting viewers to form new associations and narratives of their own.
