Statement
Her work can be poetic and universal as she gives a voice to the materials, she works with, like silk sheets to exteriorize the ephemeral state of which our memories and actions find themselves in. She showcases strong actions, emotions, overlapped with birds on a silk screen. The juxtaposition of this rough thought, rough action, over the lightness of a bird's feather and the smoothness of silks properties leaves you pondering on the depth of our actions due to discontent.
