Peeking/Winking
My work is born from the chaotic yet inspiring moments of parenting, early-morning mood swings, syrup-sticky hands, and starry-eyed toothless grins. These experiences fuel my exploration of the tension between the exuberance of childhood and the ever-increasing expectation of adulthood.
In engaging with a variety of processes and materials, I channel my children’s unfiltered energy through vibrant, geometric forms and abstracted figures. The candy-colored shapes pulses with youthful excitement, while grid-like patterns and hard-edged lines introduce structure, reflecting my attempt to balance creativity and routine.
In a world that increasingly values productivity over play, I believe the importance of creativity and imagination has never been more crucial. Play fosters exploration, resilience, and emotional depth, while creativity sparks innovation and personal growth. My work celebrates the freedom of play and the boundaries that shape it, reflecting the ongoing dialogue between spontaneity and structure, childhood and adulthood.
