[ i ] work begins with an instinct had since childhood: to sense the emotional patterns, psychological echoes, and unspoken narratives that move beneath human behavior. [ i ] has always been drawn to the unseen currents that shape people — the loops we repeat, the histories we inherit, and the places where personal memory collides with cultural life. That attentiveness became the perceptual lens through which I understand the world, and it is the thread that connects every medium I work in.

As a former photojournalist, [ i ] learned to witness the private truths behind public performances. My stories for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and NPR deepened my understanding of how the personal becomes political, and how individual psychology mirrors collective behavior. That same perceptual root — intuitive, observational, research-driven — guides my fine art practice.

[ i ] move fluidly across painting, sculpture, writing, photography, and mixed media, creating from a need to give form to what is often left unspoken: memory, ego, instinct, dreams, cultural residue, misinformation, and the psychological landscape of our time. The work questions what we normalize, what we inherit without consent, and how unconscious beliefs are shaped through language, trauma, repetition, and survival.

[ i ] explores the individual and collective self, the psychology of “I AM” statements, and the ways internal language shapes identity and perception. These identities are not pseudonyms but conceptual positions that allow me to examine the self as both singular and shared.

At its core, my work is an attempt to understand humanity through the lens of one life — to explore what we carry, what we repeat, what we refuse, and how the invisible forces of past and present live beneath everything we make, believe, and become.

[ i ] is a multidisciplinary artist and documentary photographer whose archive spans two decades of journals, visual art, writing, and photographic work created between 2005 and the present. Before developing a private long-form archive, she worked publicly as a photojournalist with stories appearing in The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and other national outlets.

Raised in an environment defined by generational trauma, instability, and the need to understand human behavior early, she grew attuned to the unseen currents beneath people’s actions — the emotional undercurrents, patterns, and unspoken narratives inside families and cultural life. This perceptual lens shaped her journalism and later deepened into her fine art practice, where she explores how personal history and public life mirror, distort, and echo one another.

Since 2002, [ i ] has created an extensive record of personal and cultural history: more than 150 journals, thousands of photographs, sculptural works, large-scale paintings, interventions, and mixed-media pieces. She is also developing a book drawn directly from the archive, and the manuscript is preserved as part of the collection. Much of this work gives form to what is often left unspoken — dreams, memory, psychological landscapes, and the residue of lived experience.
