About
I am an artist-researcher whose work centers epistemic sovereignty—an ecological understanding of knowledge that values the coexistence of diverse ways of knowing without hierarchy. My practice explores how perception, cognition, and lived experience shape the ways knowledge is produced, shared, and recognized within cultural and institutional systems.
Working across painting, scent, photography, and research-driven projects, I use art as a method of inquiry into sensory, relational, and embodied forms of understanding. Influenced by disability studies, ecological thought, and postcolonial theory, my work considers how dominant frameworks privilege certain modes of intelligence while overlooking others, and how multisensory and process-based practices can open space for alternative forms of meaning-making.
Motherhood and long-term caregiving have profoundly informed my approach to attention, observation, and pattern recognition, deepening my interest in cognitive diversity and the role of intuitive, non-linear thinking in creative and intellectual life. Across media, I create environments and experiences that invite viewers to encounter knowledge as participatory, sensory, and evolving—foregrounding atmosphere, relation, and perception as active sites of understanding.
