Inflori illumini

Abstract

Before pursuing visual arts, I trained as a dancer. I found I was drawn to body adornment because there seemed to be a seamless transition between positioning the body to achieve beauty and creation of an external element that supplements human form. This engagement with the body breathes life into an object, elevating it into an extension of a living being. I create forms I find beautiful and combine them in accordance with my aesthetic, which is inseparably connected to my experiences, generation, and environment. I take into consideration that my work is intended to be worn, and the size and shape of the human form dictates scale and functionality.
