Artist Statement
My work examines how fairy tales and myths shape societal gender roles, with a focus on the female archetype. Drawing from historical paintings, I critique how the male gaze has perpetuated limiting stereotypes. By deconstructing these idealized female figures, I reconstruct the narratives to reclaim female power and offer fresh perspectives.
Using mixed media collage, assemblage, and kinetic sculpture, my work explores storytelling through a visual language that explores the space between reality and dreams. This interplay creates depth and distance, highlighting a duality between the familiar and the strange. Central to my practice is the dynamic between observer and observed—inviting viewers to question their role in interpreting and shaping these narratives. I aim to evoke a space where viewers encounter something recognizable yet tinged with ambiguity—reflecting the elusive nature of memory and perception.
