Art is where I release emotion and speak beyond words. My work explores how mass media shapes isolation, stereotypes, and the erosion of individuality, affecting how we connect with each other and ourselves. Technology has further distanced us from real interactions, making conversation and nature feel foreign.
As an American, my perspective expanded through marriage to my Ghanaian husband. Visiting Ghana multiple times has deeply influenced my work and worldview. I am inspired by the generosity, warmth, and cultural pride I experience there. Fusing both cultures has awakened a deeper appreciation for legacy, identity, and belonging.
Through portraiture and symbolism, I highlight the ways labels and disconnection challenge authentic selfhood. My art invites reflection, encourages reconnection, and honors both my roots and the cultural bridges I have crossed.
Art is one of the most important elements of my life. Through it, I release emotions and express myself beyond words. My work explores how mass media shapes isolation, stereotypes, and the loss of individuality, ultimately influencing how we live and connect with each other.
Mass media often causes people to question their own judgment, boxing themselves into roles and labels that distance them from authentic interactions. This separation is visible in everyday places like coffee shops, where simple greetings are now seen as intrusions. Over time, these invisible barriers erode our sense of self and connection with others.
Additionally, our dependency on technology has replaced face-to-face communication, making once-simple tasks, like conversation or handwriting, feel obsolete. Technology not only disconnects us from each other but also from nature.
Through my art, I aim to raise social awareness about these issues. By highlighting how media-driven labels and technological dependence shape our lives, I hope to inspire reflection on personal identity and human connection. My goal is to challenge these barriers and encourage a return to genuine interaction and self-awareness.
