Artist Statement:
My practice spans video, sculpture, and installation, focusing on how individuals perceive time, space, and identity within the context of transnational movement. I seek to challenge linear conceptions of time, instead approaching it as cyclical and non-privatized—not a resource to be consumed, but a shared structure of perception to be collectively experienced.
Centering my research on transnational workers, I explore how they navigate between the legal and cultural systems of their home and host countries, and how these institutional gaps generate emotional states of anticipation, fear, and uncertainty. I am also concerned with the instability that arises when cultural identity and legal status are misaligned—questioning how individuals continually reposition themselves when belonging cannot be clearly defined.
Through spatial construction and sensory engagement, my work investigates how memory is triggered across environments, and how collective memory reverberates between cultures through the fluid mapping of the mind. I often linger in the tension between stability and displacement, where the self remains in flux and boundaries stay open.
