ARTIST STATEMENT

Engaging various environments as a stage and myself as a performer, I make digital photographs and videos. The stage reflects events from my own life and metaphoric situations. I have moved many times in my life and this has led me to investigate identity defined by social as well as the physical environments.

I am interested in the process of creating identity and its ephemeral nature. My themes focus on the loss of and search for identity, the conflicts that occur when building a new identity, and conforming to social surroundings. The performance captured in my work is the result of my experiences in these social and physical surroundings.
