Statement

My work is a series of personal reflections on themes of identity, family, and childhood. Through the lens of adoption and the extraordinary connection I share with my sister, I explore what it means to belong — to a family, to a place, and to oneself.

Moving between quiet everyday moments and deeper questions of difference and belonging, this project reflects on the complexities that often go unspoken. It is a reflection about growing up, about finding home not just in others but within oneself, and about the unseen threads that weave our lives together.
