I create work that exists between art and everyday life—primarily through textiles and visual forms—exploring how art can be lived, worn, and experienced.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the subtle rhythms of nature and daily life—patterns, textures, and fleeting moments that I translate into visual and tactile forms.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the award in my artistic career including creating and sustaining a dedicated space for artistic creation, expression, and cultural exchange—where art, community, and embodied experience come together through workshops, exhibitions, and shared experiences.
