THE ARCHIVE
MY SILHOUETTE
My Silhouette is a visual exploration of reconnecting with my shadow self through art, imagination, and creation. The show follows the emotional and creative journey that takes place inside my studio; the quiet moments where ideas begin to form and designs slowly come to life.
Through fashion, movement, and live performance, My Silhouette transforms the creative process into an immersive experience. Featuring 10 models and a live dress-painting performance, the show recreates the feeling of watching imagination become reality in real time.
found
Found was an immersive installation and gallery experience centered around rediscovery. A reflection on reconnecting with the parts of myself that once felt lost or disconnected, including my inner child and shadow self. Building from the emotional themes explored in my previous two shows, Found served as both a retrospection and a moment of personal reclamation.
​
The exhibition featured archival runway looks displayed on mannequins alongside live painting performances set to a ELBEE, blending visual art, sound, and movement into a single experience. At the center of the installation was a piece titled My Kitchen Table;
A reconstructed portrait of my creative process. The underside of the table was painted with artwork revealed through a mirror placed beneath it, inviting viewers to look deeper and uncover what exists below the surface. Above the table sat the tools of creation; sewing machines, paint brushes, paint cans, and scattered materials, forming a raw and intimate representation of the beautiful chaos behind the work.

An Optimistic State of mind
Second Chance was an immersive fashion show experience set in the historic Vesuvio Cafe and staged within Jack Kerouac Alley. The show represented a personal rebirth; a moment of reconnecting with my inner child while stepping into a new chapter as an artist and fashion designer.
Featuring 10 models, Second Chance showcased garments that were handmade and hand-painted by me, blending fashion with storytelling and emotional expression. The experience also incorporated live performance art through a shadow-box installation: I performed inside a muslin-covered box illuminated from within, turning my silhouette into part of the artwork itself. As the audience watched my shadow move through the fabric, I live-painted inside the structure, transforming the act of creation into a public and deeply personal performance.
Missing an Optimistic State of Mind was my first gallery and fashion show; a deeply personal body of work centered on sobriety, memory, and rediscovering my creative voice. Held at UPSIDE Art Space in the Mission District of San Francisco, the show explored the emotional process of letting go of alcohol and reconnecting with a sense of purpose through art and fashion.
Featuring 10 models, the collection incorporated urban textures and city-inspired elements drawn from my walks throughout San Francisco. The show reflected a search for a feeling I once carried growing up, a forgotten dream and sense of optimism that had become buried through years of alcohol abuse. Through garments, installation, and storytelling, Missing an Optimistic State of Mind became both a reflection on loss and a hopeful step toward rebuilding identity through creativity.
