I am an international contemporary artist living and working in California and in Chapala, Mexico. I am multi-cultural and multi-lingual. I come from a long lineage of immigrants and refugees and am a citizen of four countries across three continents.
The wonderful cultures I lived in taught me that our similarities as humans are far greater than our wonderful differences. These similarities are fundamental and belong to One People. By holding the possibility that the division of humanity into ‘sub-races’ is a man-made fabrication, we can look at ourselves with new eyes grasping the notion that we are one race. This belief drove me to create the project InBodied Light.
The fifty unique sculpture, in this body of work, range from 60 cm to 2 meters high. They are faceless and genderless which makes them both no one and everyone at the same time. They silently glow stating We Are One!
