About me

I map what is carried across distance: voices, places, people

In my work, drawing, painting, and printmaking become acts of assembly and disassembly—ways to record what memory cannot hold still.

I’m an artist based in the Bay Area, where my art practice focuses on the intersection of memory, culture, and landscape. Drawing inspiration from personal narratives and historical imagery, I explore how our relationships with the places we inhabit shape our identities. My work centers on the immigrant experience, especially how diasporic communities find belonging through physical and cultural connections to land. My practice reflects on how environments shape both individual and collective histories.

My materials are deliberate: Xuan paper, wood, cardboard, repurposed prints. I work with surfaces that bear histories, letting them accumulate marks the way a city accumulates stories. Every layer pasted, torn away, or printed again speaks to the imperfect nature of memory: how we build and rebuild our own maps of belonging, survival, and loss.

At its core, my practice is about tracing the imprints left behind by movement—both physical and emotional.

Each piece is a map. Each piece is a love letter. Each piece is a question:

How do we carry home with us—and how do we learn to draw it, again and again, into being?
