Through her writing and art practice, which includes painting, drawing, photography, and poetry, she explores the intricate connections between life, death, and the intermediate mental states between them. Her creative journey has yielded the publication of her original elegy and photography book, QUIET PETAL 1, available in institutional libraries such as the Tisch Library Collection in Boston, Massachusetts. Her work reflects her deep contemplation on the act of documenting memory ranging from individuals to institutions and continents, inviting viewers to engage with profound aspects of human existence.

Quiet Petal 1
Collection of poems, elegies, original photographs
“‘QUIET PETAL 1’ is a collection of elegies about lamenting the living and dead, unconditional love and faith, the complexities and fluctuation between mental states of our lives and the history of those before us, and overall a testament to the repressed fire and responses to life we can tap into when we are sitting very still.”
