Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

I’m a multidisciplinary artist who often works with sound and story. My art explores themes of identity,
memory, legacy, and agency, often through personal experiences, like my dual-nationality and growing up
with two languages. I also reflect on grief and the responsibility of remembering. I work across various
mediums like paper, ceramic, and print, blending my background in journalism, creative writing, and audio
production to create artworks that weave narrative into material artefacts.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

In this project, I question the firm edges and boundaries of self, exploring the fuzzy in-between spaces of
how we self-identify. Defining our identity is the process of a lifetime, and our idea of who we are
continues to morph with time. There are countless ways to categorize and interpret, no end of frames to
look through. In an exercise that attempts to represent my own self and self-identification, I am re-
interpreting the idea of self-portrait through novel perspectives, in a series of a pieces made from different
media.
