– "I am drawn to what discarded, mass-produced garments reveal about us— our interdependence on other humans and life forms, how we perceive and experience the world, and the traces left by those near, distant, or absent.

Through the processes of dismantling and reassembling discarded clothing, I weave new narratives that reconstruct cultural memory and time. In doing so, I challenge patriarchy, systems of exclusion, and the superficial portrayal of women’s bodies, instead recognizing them as resilient, lovable beings whose lifelong struggles and stories are deeply etched into their very existence."
