This body of work explores the invisible connections that shape our inner world—lineage, memory, womanhood, and the quiet emotional states that accompany everyday life. Through sculpture and mixed media, the works reflect on how identity is formed not in isolation, but through inherited histories, relationships, and lived experiences.

Themes of inheritance and continuity continue in “Transmission, Connection, Continuity,” which reflects on the flow of life from mother to daughter. It considers the silent passage of genetic memory, emotional knowledge, and ancestral information—connections that bind generations beyond words.

The series “We Are One…” begins with the idea that loneliness is not simply the absence of others. Even when surrounded by people, or when completely alone, we may feel disconnected. Yet the human body itself is a gathering place: composed of thousands of cells carrying the gifts and memories of countless ancestors.

Within us, many lives coexist—rejoicing, suffering, enduring. Our bodies become houses for these unseen presences. The works invite viewers to recognize that fulfillment does not arrive from external achievements or roles, but from awakening the many dormant lights already within. When each inner light is acknowledged, an entire universe begins to glow.

In “Shelter,” the mother figure appears as a powerful protector. Childhood is shaped within her presence; the world is first understood through her gaze. As time passes and independence grows, this shared vision slowly transforms, allowing each individual to repaint the world in their own colors.

“Passage” contemplates motherhood as a lifelong emotional state rather than a single moment. From the instant one becomes a mother, an unbreakable bond is formed—one that persists regardless of distance or time. Even when bodies are apart, the connection remains carried within the heart.

Nahialakhui (Spinning / Budding) reflects on inner growth and transformation. While physical appearance inevitably changes with time, the inner self continues to blossom—gaining wisdom, depth, and strength. This quiet inner evolution is presented as the source of a woman’s enduring beauty and power.

“A Single Moment,” “A Limited World,” and “Rain Person”—pause within fleeting emotional states. They reflect on vulnerability, containment, and the human capacity to absorb and endure emotions, much like rain soaking into the body and memory.

Together, these works form a quiet meditation on connection: between self and self, mother and child, past and present, body and emotion. They invite viewers to slow down, look inward, and recognize the vast inner landscapes that quietly exist within us all.
