Through the generational impact of immigration, my identity is a wreckage of fabricated media nostalgia.  My artwork reflects my cultural confusion and freedom to create my own reality.  Ceramic and soft sculpture allows me to negotiate contradictions between fragility and durability, cuteness and melancholy, nostalgia and unease. Clay holds the weight of craft history while remaining deeply physical and imperfect, mirroring the tension between childhood comfort and adult self-awareness. Fabric forms created from repurposed clothing provide commentary on fast-fashion, globalism, colonialism and consumer waste; while also discussing identity through costuming and human cosplay. Plush sculptures continue historical Pop Art dialogues, but also carry a personal affinity for stuffed animals. By merging sculptural tradition, animation, and toy aesthetics with queer embodiment; my work explores how identity is assembled through media, desire, loss, and longing. My work reflects a life shaped by cartoons instead of folklore, by chosen culture instead of inherited tradition, and by a persistent effort to find softness and connection in a world that often demands assimilation.
