Ongoing Narrative

My work incorporates photography, sculpture, and found objects to create assemblages that reflect the fluidity of the body, the complexity of self-identity and Otherness. In this project, I used found objects and disposable materials I collected around me as my subject. Through the depiction of the lens and the constructed space I built in my photographs, I reinterpreted and reinvented objects with a visceral and anthropomorphic quality to speak to people’s physical and psychological experiences. The image travels through construction and deconstruction, animate and inanimate, in two and three dimensions, to revalue the one-time use of materials into a bodily and otherworldly representation. The sense of proliferation in my work reflects my emigrating experience – the uncertainty and fluidity of people’s status.
