Through collage, I seek to create new meanings through reassembly of cut paper in unexpected ways. I blur the line between what is real and surreal, eliciting an experience that evokes emotions, reactions, and perceptions and leading to the construction of new and different understandings. My work is a reflection of my love for exploring the ways in which we assign value and meaning to the images and ideas that surround us, and the potential for art to challenge and subvert the hierarchies that shape our world.
