Canada
Statement

My oil painting and drawing practice centers around interdisciplinary scientific and queer thought, drawing on knowledge from my Bachelor’s of Science in Quantitative Biology from McGill University while navigating the tension between scientific objectivity and artistic subjectivity. My work explores the human body as a cybernetic ecosystem, where survival demands our biological systems to evolve with technological advancements and societal power structures, like stereotyped Asian representations in new media. Visually deconstructing and distorting the human form—digitally, mathematically, anatomically—I attempt to represent the body both as a product of these power structures and a site of resistance to them.
