My work is a study of dissolution and metamorphosis. Using pastel as a primary medium, I engage materials in a state of tension, combining dust with agents like varnish and rubbing alcohol to provoke a transformation. These collisions are not acts of destruction, but of transfiguration. What emerges is a soft and altered surface, marked by gesture, velocity, and the echo of elemental forces.

Each painting unfolds in abstracted non-places, where form resists finality and space remains suspended between cohesion and collapse. The process is cyclical, echoing natural forces like wind, water, or fire—agents of both creation and decay. Pastel dust, with its paradoxical weight and lightness, mimics the weathering of time, making the quiet alchemy of impermanence visible.

My work seeks to embody impermanence rather than illustrate it. It speaks to a lineage of memento mori and vanitas painting, yet moves beyond static symbolism toward something more fluid and experiential. The work exists within a continuous state of becoming, where making and unmaking are inseparable.

These gestures resist monumentality. They linger in thresholds, test boundaries, and remain open, rejecting permanence and closure. Rooted in a tradition of female abstraction, my practice embraces ephemerality and the refusal to be fixed. Each surface becomes a site of recurrence, instability, and potential.
