These works draw from the everyday subject matter that is my life, illuminating the personal as political. My efforts to channel my lived experience with all its’ rawness, flaws, love, anger, empowerment, and vulnerability into art have led me to radical theories about the ethics of care—a movement that offers powerful ways to move toward a more just society. These theories are rooted in our material existence. They propose leaving liberal goals of purity, virtue and deservingness, and they require admitting to the various forms of violence that people and the planet encounter daily. Care is not always clean. It requires creativity, courage to envision the beyond, and to push through inconvenience and mess. It has the potential to inspire us to dismantle existing Western frameworks of modernity and reshape a society in meaningful ways. By elevating the politics of care, I hope to inspire a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our individual and collective struggles and to contribute to the broader dialogue about how we can build a world that values the well-being of all its inhabitants.
