Join me for a chill soft opening at Carbon Bloom for my Solo Show Titled “My Body Is Not My Body”

Artist Statement:

Last year I wrote a song reflecting on my struggles with identity. Growing up, I felt compelled to embody an ideal that others could admire, inadvertently obscuring my true self. As time passed, I realized I was the antithesis of what I was expected to be. My journey of self-discovery was imperative, a path marked by gratitude tinged with sorrow for the self-respect I had long neglected. Navigating a world steeped in masculine dominance left little room for the cultivation of my femininity. The pervasive anxiety of compensating for the fact that I was not a man, further distanced me from my authentic self. Yet, through this body of work, I find healing and solace—a testament to the transformative power of artistic expression.
