Artist Statement
My work starts from recording my daily routine of “self-care”—applying make-up, selecting accessories, emotional regulation, etc., through drawing. This exhausting routine of “self-care” is sometimes considered a coping mechanism, and a necessity for negotiating society. The Consumerism and social psychology driving these actions also apply to my works on paper. My observational drawings reflect restrictions imposed by public opinion and conventions, my particular cultural background, and religious beliefs surrounding women’s sexuality. I explore and expose these personal topics through self-examination, from my body, to works on paper.
