My current body of work explores identity, cultural hybridity, and the psychological fragmentation of the self. Drawing from Parts Theory, I approach identity as a constellation of shifting, often conflicting parts rather than a fixed whole. My work examines how culture, lived experience, and social pressures produce internal fragmentation, shaping how identity is continually negotiated within overlapping cultural systems.
My practice is informed by navigating mixed cultural environments shaped by globalization and media saturation. I investigate how media and commercial aesthetics compress cultural meaning, flattening distinctions while intensifying emotional and visual density. Shared languages such as games, anime, and music systems function as structures of familiarity and play within my work, offering comfort, emotional regulation, and connection as identity is formed and performed across hybrid cultural spaces.
Working across illustration, installation, sound, and performance, I use trauma as a material, not as spectacle, but to make fragmentation visible and trace how lived experience shapes the self. Through this practice, I create spaces where vulnerability, memory, play, and comfort coexist. My work presents identity as unstable, layered, and continually in negotiation, reflecting the ongoing process of assembling meaning from fragmented parts.
