I am a painter and interdisciplinary artist whose practices converge where movement extends and transforms both material and time. Working between Boston, USA, and Marseille, France, coastal cities reflecting the fluidity of my disciplines, I explore the body as both subject and medium. My engagement spans large-scale paintings, paper cut-outs that dialogue with shadow, repeat motif printmaking, video projection, and immersive installation. These elements interweave, reflecting my deep-rooted background in movement and my personal diasporic journey, which grounds my artistic exploration.
I draw inspiration from Polynesian artifacts, sensory ethnography, ocean restoration, and synesthesia. My work critically engages with geological fantasy and the historical intersections of European colonization in Oceania, while exploring utopian visions of a borderless global society. My visual language unfolds like choreography, recording and transmitting my movements across surfaces. I reshape nature and figuration into co-collaborative experiences with my process and the environments where my work is installed.
Using tactile materiality, repurposed objects from my painting process, and rhythmic compositions, I invite viewers into liminal spaces, and "imagined futures" where sight and touch intersect haptically. My artworks bridge past and present, offering sensory-rich explorations of the body’s synthesis with nature and possibilities for transformative futures.
