Nashville, TN03.2026
In a time when identity and belonging feel heightened, 2026 has required me to confront the fractures that surface when observing society in this moment. There is a weight in witnessing the world as it is and in accepting that some breaks are not distant, but deeply personal. This piece invites viewers to consider repair as an act of reverence. Wholeness is not assumed. It is shaped by what has been broken, tended to, and made meaningful again.
Part of the collaborative exhibition curated by Jay Sanchez and taking place in Gallery 56 inside the historic Nashville Arcade.
This piece is part of my ongoing Cerámica Series, a body of work that reflects on fracture, identity, and repair. I continue returning to the metaphor of ceramic. Something formed by hand. Something that can break. Something that can be tended and made meaningful again.
Shape of Self explores what it means to hold both strength and vulnerability at the same time. It considers how identity is not fixed or perfect, but shaped by lived experience. By pressure. By healing. By what we choose to mend.
The collaborative exhibition, curated by Jay Sanchez brings together artists responding to the theme of silence. The show invites reflection on the spaces between what is spoken and unspoken, seen and unseen. Each artist approaches this idea differently, through their own lens and story.
