TITLE: Alienated, 2025 (Not for sale)

MEDIUM: Ceramic (5ftx5ftx2in)

DESCRIPTIONS:
This is one of the most sentimental artworks I have made to date and it was also the most difficult in every step of the way. This is a physical representation of how I felt being the youngest sibling and having a large age gap with all 3 other siblings. It was isolating considering I wasn’t close to my parents either. I was yearning to be closer to them and feel like a complete family even though in our situation that would never be the case. All 4 of us were victims of a dysfunctional home and I love my siblings with all my heart despite everything. I may not fit into this puzzle but I think ultimately we all fit in a better one together.

BIO/ARTIST STATEMENT:

I create art as a way to understand and share my inner world, a journey that transforms personal experiences and complex emotions into tangible, visual forms. I work with sculptural ceramics and screen printing, two mediums that allow me to explore and express the layers of my identity, my struggles, and my triumphs. My creative process is a deeply personal act of catharsis, an ongoing conversation between my heart and the materials I choose, and a message to anyone who has ever felt alone or misunderstood.

I am a ceramic artist who integrates sculptural elements and screen printing into my work, creating pieces that serve as reflections of myself, shared experiences, and the complexities of human emotion. My art is driven by a need for catharsis, a way to translate intricate feelings and personal narratives into tangible, visual forms. Through my work, I seek to communicate that no one is truly alone; every emotion, no matter how deep or complicated, is something that others can relate to and understand. By shaping these emotions into physical objects, I hope to foster connection, empathy, and a sense of shared experience.
