My process of art-making is an act of resistance. Through storytelling, poetry, and fiction, I question the colonial structures we live within: globalisation, the politics of food, our relationship as humans with the earth. My work shape-shifts through different frames like a social sculpture, an installation, an archive, a class, a workshop, a circle of beings.
Encountering the hard edges of living as an immigrant and global majority artist, mother, and educator in Europe, grief has become a constant: longing to return to the territory that birthed me, navigating single motherhood, witnessing the earth's collapse. Nonetheless, a certain softness I have been sowing has permeated my practice, opening portals to observe how we relate to each other, and to the structures that hold us.
My work intends to give agency and voice to plants, clay, everyday materials, gathering tools that let me land in a woven collection of imagined possibilities. In Muttering Incantations, an ongoing installation weaving video, sound, text, and ceramics, an audiovisual poem traces how water, fire, earth, air, and ether have each carried their own histories of domination. A path to bond with familiar forms: vases, water, baskets, stones.
To understand the reciprocity in every exchange.
This practice flows into the classrooms and workshops I offer, blending creative, theoretical, and somatic tools toward self-reflection, community, and social and climate justice.
