My recent works advance my long-standing investigation into trauma, identity, and the politics of visibility by reconfiguring the mask as a carrier of emotion rather than a concealment device.
In my hands, the mask becomes a volatile interface—half shield, half confession—through which exiled feelings find form.
This strategy exposes the cultural violence imposed on the female face: the demand to remain legible, controlled, and pleasing.
At the same time, these expressive surfaces defy the extractive logic of algorithmic vision, corrupting the digital desire to classify and neutralize emotion.
By allowing the mask to feel, I reclaim affect as a subversive force, turning her figures into sites of rupture where vulnerability and defiance coexist.
My practice asserts a radical truth: even what is fabricated can speak the emotions we are forbidden to show.
