ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work blends painting, poetry, and sound to create immersive spaces that explore love, identity, and connection through an Afrofuturist lens. I am deeply influenced by my experience as a sound engineer and my commitment to centering my identity. Each installation is a story—inviting introspection, honoring ancestral memory, and imagining liberated futures. I strive to create work that resonates emotionally and spiritually, offering space for others to see themselves.
