I’m a visual artist, terminal user, and archivist of retro technology. Based in NYC. This site is a memory dump of my work.

After my ā gōng (grandpa) passed in 2024, I began creating art more seriously. Initially, I used it to channel my grief, but then became fascinated by the varied shades of sorrow and its familiar resonance. Through the Sad Girls series, I explore the universality of sadness and its reminder of our shared humanity.

In parallel, I developed the Machines project. I grew up in eastern Los Angeles. My father was a watchsmith / mechanic / craftsman, always tinkering with his latest curiosity. His office was more akin to an inventor’s workshop. His desk was filled with tiny screws, gears, pins, and miniature tools. I am my father’s daughter, taking from his love of repair and creation. I’m drawn to the visual language of outdated devices and, in many cases, their obsolescence—-the ugly sister of progress. Technological relics, while no longer useful, are not without utility. They hold stories, provide us with context, and gift us with nostalgia.

I take pleasure in the discarded, the disregarded, and the possibility of unearthing their forgotten stories.
