"They said she was a firefly trapped in a jar.
But they were wrong.

She is the Moon.

She tells her stories through the shadows.
She shines brightest in the dark."

The Capacity collection is an exploration of the unique human ability to simultaneously let go, hold on, release, pivot and surrender all while experiencing both the mundane and important aspects of everyday life.

Capacity reflects on our human tendency to compartmentalize our experiences and emotions to maintain separation between different aspects of our lives with others, despite knowing that in a deeper, cosmic sense, we’re all interconnected—both with each other and with the past and future versions of ourselves.

The artist is fascinated by the stories others have shared about their capacity to endure, to accept, to grieve; to hold space for others and oneself at the same time, all through symbolic visual language that communicates shadow, light, containment, spilling over, autonomy and free will.

"She used to be afraid of the dark until she realized shadows are proof that there’s light."
