Keep on Dancing (2020-2021)
I began making collages during the long lockdowns as a way to stay connected to my creativity — a form of therapy amidst the exhaustion of full-time motherhood and domestic responsibilities, without the support we all deserve.
The dancing women in my collages represent those who persist despite fatigue — women who keep moving, feeling, and showing up. Collage became my way of staying present, embracing shifting emotions, and refusing to give in to resignation.

Unfolding (2023)
I will have to admit that there are days when putting on a show is more difficult and I retreat more to the background as I try to attract less attention and hope to be less of an object of focus.

Orchids, long symbols of feminine beauty, love, and fertility, carry deep cultural associations with sensuality and romance. In these collages, I explore the idea of giving women space to express these aspects of themselves freely—without fear of objectification or misunderstanding.
