My practice is rooted in lived experience with chronic pain, specifically Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and small fiber neuropathy. I focus on the femme body as a site of endurance, expectation, and quiet labor. Rather than treating pain as an interruption, I work from the understanding that it is an environment—something that reorganizes time, attention, and identity. Moving forward, I am interested in exploring duration: in repetition, maintenance, and the daily rituals of living inside a body that does not resolve, only changes shape. Through these sustained gestures and practices, the body becomes an archive of sensation, medical language, and endurance. I work primarily in photography and sculpture; my practice is shaped by lived experience with chronic neuropathic pain and infertility. My work centers on the body, time, and physical limitations, using images and objects to explore how pain reorganizes perception, attention, and daily life. I exist in a reality where pain is not an interruption to life but one of its primary structures. Where pain is not a condition or event but an environment— a system that reorganizes time, attention, and the body’s relationship to itself. A body historically asked to carry, produce, withstand, and remain legible even while failing. In my work, the body is not a symbol but an archive: a place where sensation, memory, medical language, and shame accumulate. I am working towards my goal of visualizing how pain isolates, demands discipline, and quietly reorganizes a life. Through sustained artistic experimentation, I am trying to make visible what is often managed in silence: the long labor of inhabiting a body that resists, and the ongoing endurance required to remain within it.
