Artist Statement

My painting depicts contemplative moments where the body lingers in scenes that feel both familiar and uncanny, a dilution of memory, a vessel for the weight of displacement. Raised between China, the UK, and France, and now living in New York, I remain endlessly curious about what it means to be home. What emerges is a narrative around the liminal space of belonging everywhere and nowhere, a haunting homesickness without knowing where that home is. The figures in my paintings channel an erratic and somewhat fractured internal dialogue, drifting between protagonist and antagonist, play and seriousness, absence and presence. My work is an amalgamation of self-portraiture and imagined narratives. The female body is often pushed to its edges, stretched, exaggerated, or undone. By embracing ambiguity and instability, my practice explores the impossibility of defining identity without deforming it.
