In this performance, I use my body as both a tool and a subject, covering myself in paint and repeatedly sitting in chairs to create layered, abstract impressions. These marks—formed through movement, weight, and repetition—resemble Rorschach paintings, eliciting a psychological and emotional inquiry into the self.
The history of Rorschach imagery—from its origins as a psychological test developed by Hermann Rorschach to its adaptation in Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and contemporary art—deeply informs this work. The way my body’s imprints create unpredictable marks, much like the Surrealists' use of decalcomania, suggests a similar surrender to organic process, transformation and the unconscious.
My work becomes a mirror, reflecting the personal narratives and emotional states of those who engage with it. The chairs, imprinted with my presence, become more than objects; they are invitations for contemplation, spaces for viewers to project their own interpretations and emotions. They act as vessels for transformation, encouraging a process of transmutation: a space where personal histories, traumas, and memories might be reimagined, reshaped, and healed. Through this act of bodily inscription, I explore the intersections of identity, memory, and materiality, offering a site where the ephemeral and the enduring converge.
This work was completed in May 2024 and was commissioned by Art & Water Cultural Group.

Body of Work is a narrative of discovery, resilience, memory, healing, and transformation. Through my artistic process, I use my physical form as a brush, creating intimate impressions with paint, later embellished with gold drawings. Inspired by Kintsugi philosophy, my art celebrates the beauty of repair and brokenness. I delve into the impact of trauma on the mind, body, memory, which disrupts our connection to self, making tangible the integrated history within.

Shadows hold symbolic significance, often used to convey depth, contrast, and the interplay between light and darkness. They represent hidden aspects, mystery, or the subconscious. Exploring shadows, I delve into the complexity of emotions, unveiling obscured facets of identity and the nuanced interplay between memories of the past and present.

Impressions. It is the act of creating a mark or indent, conveying texture, emotion, or form. Using paint and my body, I leave imprints and marks on a surface, capturing the essence of movement and emotion. These impressions become a tangible record of my interaction with the medium, embodying a unique expression. They relate to the lasting effects and memories left within my body by experiences and encounters.
