I am moved by the sensual beauty of nature. I believe that this beauty is sacred and it is healing — it connects us to the divine within ourselves. My purpose is to illuminate the earth beauty that is all around, and inspire us to see ourselves as a part of that beauty.
I create ritual spaces for community to connect, commune, and meditate on these truths.
I believe in communing with the earth as de-colonial, liberatory acts of freedom. When we understand our connection to the earth as our source of abundance and wholeness, we are resourced to be the healers, freedom fighters, and change agents our world needs.
I express my reverence for this beauty across mediums. I create botanical art and earth altars with flowers, leaves, seeds, minerals. As a dancer, my contemporary movement is informed by the elements of earth, air, water, and fire. My writings trace ancestral lands, soul lineages, family legacies.
They are tied together by the thread of returning to what is most elemental — our bodies and the earth — to remember who we are and what we come from.
Artist’s Statement
Who I am.
As a design strategist, I believe we have the capacity and tools to build new economies of care and community— dismantling unsustainable systems and build new ones that honor our humanity, the earth, and embody the more beautiful futures we know are possible. I collaborate with changemaking organizations working towards a more just, equitable, and healed world.
As a multi-dimensional creative, I weave earth elements, ritual, verse, and movement into expressions of sacred beauty, cultivating ceremonial spaces for community and collective healing.
As an immigrant daughter of diaspora, first generation born into San Francisco’s Chinatown, I am shaped by my East Asian and islander ancestry, and every sacred land and vibrant cityscape that has held me.
I am guided across lineages by many beloved mentors and teachers — human and more-than-human, in the ways of movement, somatics, earth-based, ancestral and indigenous practice.
My purpose is our transformation, regeneration, and collective liberation. Let’s make change, together.
