"I am interested in creating psychological spaces. ... I created this biomorphic form that inhabited the corner of my room. This form embodied the overwhelming emotions I felt when classes began. The placement of this form is very important to the work as a whole.

Moving forward, I want to play with the illusion of the pictorial space and experiment with how viewers can interact with my artwork. By contesting traditional notions of art, I am eager to find new ways in which I can display my artworks."
