Artist statement
Her practice explores how external factors shape personal identity, viewed through the lens of her own experience. The core message of her work is to illustrate the path and pace of personal change — a process that can inspire viewers to reflect on their own transformation. As this journey is often complex and challenging, she incorporates elements of humor and accessible narratives to highlight ideas more clearly.
