Bio / Artist Statement

My work examines the relationship between bodies and the conditions that shape them. I am interested in how power becomes embodied, how bodies carry the times, places, and histories they inhabit, and what they can make from these conditions. Rather than representing them, I work through them, looking for the moments when something can be appropriated, exhausted, interrupted, or transformed.

I approach the body as both a tool and an archive: a living record of personal, collective, and ancestral histories, and a laboratory of feelings, limits, and potential. In performance, I work with duration, repetition, restriction, and impossible movement scores, creating conditions whose outcomes cannot be fully anticipated.

I return to images, gestures, rituals, materials, and histories that carry traces of violence and power, and to what happens when they are inhabited again, displaced, or brought into other relations. Ritual extends from research and making into presentation. Rather than fixing the form in advance, I allow each process and its encounters with bodies, materials, spaces, landscapes, and histories to determine how the work takes shape.

I am drawn to what remains unresolved or partially illegible, and to the openings that appear when a given condition begins to shift.
