I am a practicing artist who primarily works in sculpture. My work is focused on exploring the manifestations of power within the intersection of mixed heritage identity. I aim to delve into the anxieties of advanced capitalism, body aspiration and cultural identity.
I find fascination in the underlying and often invisible expectations and pressures of our society. I look at unpicking models of fantasy, desire, entrenched political/economic models and the narrow definition of success.

My goal is to unravel them by reshaping their surfaces and through the juxtaposition of contradictory iconography and semiotics. I draw influence from the realms of finance, Filipino pop culture, bodybuilding, video games, military traditions and comic books. I reinterpret recognizable icons, structures, and objects, presenting them in a new light – a proposition for something more fallible and uncertain.
