My work is about if your body is trying to tell you something from the inside out. Whether if something wrong or it's feeling a certain way. With facial expressions describe them to you from the inside.

My body of work combines mixed media, featuring forms that morphing.I was inspired by the way our bodies can feel fine at times, yet still produce sounds and signals—as if they are trying to communicate something.
