Artist Statement
I made this work attempting to reckon with internal and external chaos, which simultaneously lead to different manifestations of escape. A part of the work is also about failure and the dilemmas that come with it: is it better to fight against that feeling, or lean in? Our isolated present make these ideas resonate with me strongly right now. “There she was” offers no answers, only an attempt to connect with others that might feel the same.

Description:
An androgynous, grounded, and embodied figure; contrasted with an exaggerated, feminine, towering monster. A reflection on chaos and escape, carried by a charged physicality with strength at its core.
