The internal world of the mind is a place of mystery where objectivity and linearity come undone. Through photographs, paintings, and drawings, I depict this inner world to explore the intersection of different realms of existence. I represent this axis through motifs, specifically symbols from the natural world and the personal subconscious. Silhouettes, geometric forms, and lines became a codex for personal stories connecting to themes of solitude, loss, and violence.


My practice is guided by Indigenous cosmologies and forms of image-making. In particular, perspectives on time/space and the power of symbolism. The content of my work is further influenced by psychoanalytic theory, focusing on psychopathologies, dream analysis, and memory suppression. In this way, the sacred weaves into psychological states, through which I make sense of the pain found in the past. I seek understanding by connecting to the internal non-physical place where boundaries between present-past and real-imagined are dissolved. I then look to the communities that cradle me, connecting the personal to my familial and ancestral inheritance. Existing in the nexus of individual experience and Indigenous temporalities, my work externalizes personal stories and makes them part of larger cosmological narratives.
