About my practice.
Regardless of the medium, creating art is how I reflect on experiences that shape who I am. It is my hope that by being open about my identity as a trans and mad individual in my work, I may be able to connect with those who struggle with similar aspects of themselves.
I was born in Mannheim, Germany in 2002 and work out of Maple Ridge, British Columbia.
