Artist Statement

My work is deeply intentional and layered, engaging Afrofuturism not merely as an aesthetic, but as a vital framework for reclamation, healing, and speculative freedom for Black femmes. Through my art, I explore ‘Blood Memory’ as method by drawing on ancestral memory and embodied history as tools that root my practice in lineage without being confined by trauma. This approach honors pain while creating space for joy, sensuality, spirituality, and transformation, offering a radical vision of resilience and possibility within gallery spaces and beyond.

I employ digital collage and mixed media to build identity not as a singular narrative but as fragments, patterns, and gestures. This ritualistic assembly invites viewers into a complex experience of self and history. My work plays with time, blending photographic realism with spiritual abstraction to blur past, present, and future. This is designed to evoke a nuanced sense of both displacement and rootedness that defines many Black femme experiences in the United States.

I strive to carve out a unique aesthetic language that reflects my commitment to creating spaces of speculative freedom and reclamation. Through this work, I invite a reimagining of historical identity that is both decolonial and transformational.
