As an actress, I don’t just play characters—I embody their inner lives, telling their stories from within. I step into heightened archetypes — carrying fear, guilt, desire, self-doubt, pain, trauma, and rage alongside strength, resilience, empathy, and calm. Through stillness, deliberate pauses, and precise beats, I let every micro-expression and gesture convey depth, while my emotional agility allows me to shift seamlessly between emotions in a single scene. These roles are more than performances—they are explorations of the human psyche, symbols that stir something primal and lasting in the audience.

My artistry doesn’t stop on screen. In fashion, I create pieces that feel like extensions of those
archetypes—shapes that cut sharp, silhouettes that hold mystery, garments that feel like armor
for the soul. In painting, I chase the same language in color and shadow, turning emotion into
myth on canvas.

What ties it all together is my obsession with archetypes—the way they speak to the
subconscious, the way they blur destruction and creation, chaos and control, allure and danger.
Through my work, I invite people to step into those dualities with me.
I don’t see my art as just acting, or just fashion, or just painting. For me, it is all one
mythology—an evolving story where the Dark Muse becomes real, alive, and unafraid to be
seen.

I was adopted as a child, and while I am grateful for the life I was given, my relationship with my
mother was always distant. That lack of bonding left me searching—for validation, for support,
for a place where I could fully express myself. Growing up, I often felt like I had to keep my
emotions contained, hidden beneath the surface.

But art gave me an outlet. Performing, painting, creating—it all became a language when words
failed me. On stage and on screen, I can release what I once buried: longing, rage, tenderness,
even the beauty of silence. In fashion and in painting, I give those feelings form, building worlds
that speak without needing explanation.

This is why I am drawn to the dark feminine archetype. The wounded soul, Twisted mind, The trickster,, the shadowed muse—they are mirrors of my own story. They embody vulnerability wrapped in
power, beauty laced with danger, and the strength to transform pain into art. When I perform, I
don’t just act—I surrender to these archetypes and let them live through me, I embodies the psychological realm, emotional agility, and nuanced depth in every role.

For me, it isn’t about “playing characters.” It’s about telling their truths, channeling their
psychology, and giving them space to breathe in the world. My art—whether it’s acting, fashion,
or painting—becomes a mythology of shadows and light, a way of saying:

​

"our darkness, too, is worthy of being seen".
