Art is a method of consciousness, a way of knowing that doesn't rely on institutional validation.
Art is intelligence and experience - perspective independent of dominating cultures, censorship, or ecclesiastical narratives.
My work is an act of reclamation — of voice, of body, of myth. I create to remind women that pleasure is sacred, that desire is not a sin but a form of knowing. Through painting, sculpture, and story, I explore the space where the erotic and the spiritual meet — where the feminine body becomes both prayer and rebellion.
For too long, systems of power have silenced or sanctified women only through distortion — turning our bodies into symbols to be worshiped or feared. I choose instead to speak from within the body: to let it tell its own truth, to transmute the shame imposed by history into art that hums with autonomy and beauty.
My work honors alternative histories — the forgotten goddesses, the mystics, the outlaws who lived outside sanctioned narratives. Each piece is an invocation, a reminder that to create is to remember, and to remember is to reclaim power.
In giving voice to what was once hidden, I hope to awaken that same freedom in others: the permission to be fully seen, fully felt, and fearlessly alive.
