"Painting and carpentry are my vehicles for making a difference in the world and contributing to a better future for everyone. Inspired by my surroundings and experiences, my art explores themes of potency, capability, social justice, and resilience, bringing to life the narratives of survivors of gender-based violence. My works typically evoke a mix of emotions, ranging from somber reflection to profound admiration, highlighting the strength and courage of survivors.

What truly sets my portraiture apart is the use of kinetic sculpture to convey my message. My portraits are transformed into dynamic and interactive structures that bounce, spin, move and crash. The sculptures create an atmosphere of gritty exposure, while simultaneously enticing the viewer to participate. Kinetic sculpture injects a new dimension of life to my two-dimensional work. I look forward to explaining and displaying these structures for a new audience." -Lummus
