I view my art as an autobiography in metal. My work explores identity, memory, and daydreams as I confront my age, my place, and my past as an adopted Filipino-American raised in a German Jewish and Christian Irish household. I use jewelry and metalwork to archive the complex intersections of myself as an individual both welcomed-in yet completely anomalous, a person made of many cultures and seemingly no cultures at all.

Each piece is an ornament, a story, and an introspection.
