‘In my work, anatomy is used as an element to show that we are all equal as human beings.
I explore new forms by peeling back the surface of the body and reassembling anatomical elements to reveal the essence of humanity. Along with form, I explore a variety of textures in my work to express the diversity of individual identities that cannot be categorized by gender or race.’
