The Apple, 2026
The Apple is a hand-painted watercolor animation accompanied by a poem that I wrote, read, aloud. The animation is about how many disabled individuals including myself have been judged and only seen at Surface level and disregarded as sometimes as having a lack of humanity. As society seems to value productivity over personhood. Although this piece was made to bring light on how disabled individuals are like everyone else.
Tincture, 2026
In Tincture, I speak from within a body that is always negotiating with itself. Living with chronic illness feels like standing on the edge of death, not dramatically, but quietly and persistently. I call it Tincture because healing and harm can steep together over time, potent in small doses. My condition is a silent arsenal, flaring without warning. Yet this poem is about endurance. Each day I choose to breathe, to soften, to coexist with exhaustion. I find small lights love, warmth, and, survival. I redefine strength as persistence. Even on the hardest days, I endure, choosing beauty, love, and acceptance.

Anon & Onward: The Exhibition
Anon & Onward is a constructed world, a fictional yet deeply personal place born from my need to explore and understand my identity as a disabled woman. Rooted in both reality and imagination, Anon allows me to navigate the emotional terrain of my lived experience through immersive storytelling. This space brings together 2D and 3D elements to evoke the physical, occupational, and speech therapy that shaped much of my life offering not just a visual experience, but a sensory one grounded in memory, movement, and sound.
As a disabled woman, I use mixed-media illustration/Animation/soundscapes to explore the contrasts between discomfort and comfort, comedy and tragedy, all drawn directly from my own experiences. My work raises awareness of the invisible nature of many disabilities and invites viewers to reflect on the often-overlooked realities faced by disabled individuals. By blending humor and vulnerability, I challenge assumptions and promote a broader, more compassionate understanding of disability.
Much of this exhibition touches on deeply personal themes: the everyday struggles of tasks like driving, the therapeutic role of imaginary friends, stuffed animals, and pets, and the emotional work of reconciling my childhood vision of adulthood which once shimmered with excitement and glamour with the often mundane, even starkly simple reality I now inhabit.
I’ve always learned best through auditory and kinesthetic methods through sound, touch, repetition, and rhythm. Music, in particular, became a profound influence on how I interpret and navigate the world. It served not just as inspiration, but as a bridge: between thought and feeling, between memory and embodiment. In The Village of Anon, music, movement, and narrative all come together to create an experience that is both introspective and immersive.
Through this imagined village, I invite viewers to step into a world where disability is not hidden or minimized, but central where the boundaries between internal and external experience are blurred, and where vulnerability, creativity, and resilience exist in equal measure.
