I focus on the cycle of trauma and the distorted narrative it has created in my life. Currently, my work is a reference to my journey of living in toxic environments as a child and young adult. My intuitive nature guides me to revisit and correct my distorted thinking patterns. I have translated these into formal elements in my prints. I explore. A combination of physical elements, multiple layers, and digital renderings are used to create an illusion of depth.
