Pronouns: she/her
Major: Psychology and Design
I’m a multimedia artist and designer who is based in San Francisco. With a background in high acuity mental health intervention and prevention, the throughline in my artistic work explores creative mediums through which community can be nurtured. My work bridges the digital and physical realms, exploring their intersections and the unique possibilities that emerge when they converge. With a newfound interest in textiles, finding an interconnection between material, culture, and typography is where my eye has thrived as of late, particularly as I find myself more drawn to a career in art direction.
Zweisamkeit “tz-vay-zam-kight”
(“intimate togetherness” or “harmonious closeness between two people,”)
A beautiful genuinity has the capacity to exist when people find themselves in the intimate togetherness that is friendship. Zweisamkeit strives to both honor and nurture that vulnerable but albeit sacred notion. As people step into the sculpture, the intent is for a child-like wonder to manifest. The intersection of the tender and gentle nature of the textiles aimed to further catalyze the concept. The hand bound book, which compliments the photos woven into the physical space, provides both a playfulness that can foster from connection while also making space for the exposed and sensitive nature of interpersonal relationships.
