Artist Statement

My work explores what lingers—ghostly imprints, traces of labor, and the unseen stories folded into everyday materials. Using pressure, graphite, and layered surfaces, I investigate how identity and memory are compressed into form. The fold becomes both a gesture of concealment and revelation—what is hidden in the crease can shift and unfold over time. Graphite captures the residue of touch, pressing history into paper and fabric like a shadow or scar. I’m drawn to what resists visibility: the undocumented, the discarded, the in-between. Through layered processes, I uncover what is quietly inscribed yet rarely acknowledged.
