Consciousness
The Heart in Search of Itself
Who’s in charge - the heart or the mind?
This work suggests that love can overwhelm the mind's logical faculties.
The woman is portrayed as lost in a thicket of her own neuron cells, caught between her head and her heart. Love is described as the subatomic texture of the universe. It courses through our veins, taking over our thoughts and perceptions.
The piece carving an exact replica of the neuron, as illustrated by Spanish neuroscientist Santiago Ramon y Cajal, who famously discovered the cell in 1888.
With her left hand, the woman brushes aside a curtain of mental reason in service of her heart's passion.
In her right hand, the woman clings to her retina cells for stability, but when it comes to matters of the heart, she’s not to trust her mind's eye.
The piece ultimately suggests that emotions rule over reason and perception, and that we must learn to navigate the tension between our head and our heart.

A Determined Woman
Is the future predetermined or shaped by our choices?
The collar and chain around the woman's neck are symbols of constraints by patriarchal societal expectations, limiting women's free will in romantic relationships. Yet as she sprawls on the floor, her expression is one of acceptance, looking up at the hand at the end of the chain.
This time, she's reclaiming her power in society by offering to surrender it. Because you can't give away power that you don't have. Referencing the messages in "Be Here Now," a spiritual text by Ram Dass, like, "If you could stand back far enough, you would see, you are a totally determined being," the work raises questions about innate and relative personal agency, as well as determinism.
Surrendering our attachments can be a bold act of agency in itself.

Shed My Skin
How far can you take it all off?
In this piece, a woman stands as a representation of nature.
Her duality is evident. On one leg is a computer chip, suggesting a merger between biology and technology. Is she becoming more herself, or moving away from her natural state?
An electromagnetic wave around her implies an ongoing flow of information from her third eye, creating her reality.
As she slips out of her ‘skin, she is at once evolving and devolving, caught in the struggle between organic and synthetic life.
The snake, a symbol of temptation and ego, flicks its tongue towards her. The snake also represents words – the ego's tool for fabricating a narrative, shaping her perceived reality.
The artwork invites the audience to connect with a reality that is palpable, a frequency of truth that is felt rather than heard.

A Virtual Woman
Do our virtual interactions erode our self-love?
Our desire for on-demand intimacy often binds us in a twisted web of endless selfies and messages. The woman is trapped by symbolic ropes - the constraints of virtual connections.
Catching the woman in a contorted pose for a mirror selfie, her desires for physical touch go unmet.
In the words of Israeli poet laureate Yehuda Amichai, "If with a bitter mouth you speak sweet words, the world will neither sweeten nor become more bitter." The work suggests that the constant need to present ourselves in a certain way online can be a bitter experience, even if our words and interactions are sweet.
We are now free to talk and chat all the time. But a life lived online takes an emotional toll on the body.
