about
As a neurodivergent artist and performer, I am interested in challenging what is considered “standard”, “typical”, and “expected”. Facial expressions are interpreted based on one’s own experience, upbringing, and cultural background.
Joy can look like many things.
Grief can look like many things.
Emotions are processed and felt differently in all bodies, and I strive to evoke those sensations through sound. I want to create spaces where people can be free to show up as they are, free from explanation and expectation.
