Home is more than a place. It's something pieced together over time, stitched from memories, relationships, and experiences. Throughout life, this sense of home changes. Memory becomes a bridge that allows us to revisit moments with new understanding or redefine what they mean entirely. It is through this nostalgic return that “home” can be reimagined and cherished.

I embrace both the comfort and impermanence of my sense of home. Through the incorporation of slip-cast textiles, this work uses soothing textures and imagery to echo the warmth and kinship of home. Cast metal from organic materials also appears throughout my practice, both methods turning what was once malleable and strong into something permanent, yet fragile. These materials embody the contradictions of memory itself: strong yet delicate, truthful yet incomplete, and speak to the ongoing act of reconstructing what embodies “home.”
