Performances in Motion

Artist Statement

“As a multidisciplinary artist, I create art that embodies an intrinsic relationship with oneself and others, revealing the intimate depths of the human psyche, emotions, and consciousness. My work explores themes of Emotion, Growth, Abstraction and Embodied practices.

My creative journey is a deliberate exploration of fluidity and reinvention. With roots in music, dance, painting, each project becomes a vessel for embodying new perspectives and defying categorization. Embracing the philosophy of transience, I draw from my multicultural roots, weaving abstract narratives that transcend conventional norms.

My work as a psychologist and as an artist are deeply interconnected. Both emerge from a fascination with the inner world, the subtle movements of emotion, thought, and intuition. In therapy, I hold space for others to explore their internal landscapes; in art, I give form to my own.

Painting and dance allow me to translate feeling into movement, colour, and texture- a process that mirrors the unfolding of insight and awareness in psychological work. My creative practice is shaped by the same curiosity and compassion that guide my clinical work.”
