Artist statement

Distinguishing between illusion and reality, my practice discusses the impermanence of  childhood memories. Particularly investigating the significance of personal objects,  A Forgotten  Pandora presents nostalgic experiences related to an Asian/Australian Identity.  Characterized  by digital corruption, this projects the shifting dynamics of emotion.
