Artist Statement.
In the paradox of crafting movement-inspired art amidst mobility challenges and chronic pain, my jewelry becomes a testament to resilience. Drawing on over a decade of participating in aerial dance, where the constraints of gravity on my joints dissolve, my pieces embody the paradoxical weight of lightness. It's a visual narrative reflecting the duality of the human experience — where fleeting moments of flight coexist harmoniously with the grounding reality. This exploration becomes a metaphor for navigating life's challenges, capturing the essence of joy and limitation in the delicate dance between weightlessness and the inevitability of returning to Earth.
