My work examines the breaking points of physical and social structures, focusing on the rebuilding process that follows. Utilizing everyday materials like commercial tile, I embrace their inherent meanings and the optimism found in their destruction. The act of breaking transforms ordered grids into opportunities for reformation, allowing me to layer personal narratives and explore themes like gender identity and caregiving. The resulting organic forms and textures invite viewer interaction, reflecting the tension between material freedom and control while helping me navigate the complexities of domestic life and individual identity.
