“My work is an exploration of identity & dysphoria, and the distinction between the self and the body. As a genderqueer individual, I find myself in constant performance; from my posture to my vocabulary, how I hold my hands to the gait of my walk, every gesture is calculated in an effort to untether people’s idea of me from their assumptions about my appearance, but furthermore, my body.
My physical form presents itself first, and as much as it serves me, it also imprisons me. I see it as the tool with which I communicate with the world, a facilitator between my metaphysical self and the earth. It carries me through life, but brings with it the inevitability of death & decay. My relationships with others as well as my own flesh become complicated. I love people, but I lament how they misinterpret me; I fear death, yet I can’t help but hope it’ll liberate me.
With symbols and compositions that borrow from classical painting as well as my own more whimsical contributions, I unravel these thoughts and envisage the travesty of acting as one’s own self, the escape from the burdens of physicality, and the grandeur that lies beyond.”
