I’m attempting to create beauty out the very little I have, a reflection of how I felt inside after experiencing a series of traumas fall of 2019 in Portland, OR.

I’d been stripped to nothing, so simple shapes suddenly felt like home. Everything in my life felt like chaos so I desired simplicity and symmetry, centeredness and peace.

I learned the voice I value most is peaceful and meditative positivity in response to the very real and unavoidable chaos and pain of this world.
