My artwork is an expression of my many identities. My work is prominently self-portraiture and through that I discuss issues such as self-identity, vulnerability, and various social issues. I utilize printmaking to create my work because it allows me to be meticulous and thought out. The process of printmaking is laborious and time consuming and in doing so my work engages with the process itself. My work is a celebration of those who are othered in society. By using myself as vessel, I’m able to have introspection and look at my relationship to the world.
