My work explores the emotional and psychological terrain of migration, tracing what it means to leave, to arrive, and to dwell in the space between. Working with clay, batik fabric, yarn, and found objects, I create sculptural and performative works that consider identity as layered, negotiated, and always in the process of becoming.

Clay is both earth and body in my practice. It holds memory. It yields, resists, cracks, and endures. Its fragility and strength echo the tensions of diasporic life—the quiet negotiations between permanence and displacement. Batik fabric, widely associated with West African identity yet rooted in Indonesian wax-resist traditions and shaped by colonial trade routes, carries a history of movement embedded in its surface. Its patterns speak of circulation, exchange, and adaptation. In my work, batik becomes both skin and archive.

Yarn introduces a language of binding and repair. Wrapped, stretched, and threaded through ceramic forms, it pulls tension into space, connecting what might otherwise drift apart. It gestures toward fragile continuity, the invisible threads between homeland and host land, past and present.

Found objects enter the work already marked by touch and time. They carry the weight of use, memory, and survival. Repositioned, they are given another life, no longer ordinary, but resonant.

My work ask viewers to move carefully, to slow down, to feel the vulnerability within structure. Through material, I navigate belonging, visibility, and transformation—mapping the quiet architecture of diasporic existence.
