Coherence

Coherence emerged from a series of conversations—one leading quietly into another, then another—until I found myself far from where I had begun. I felt carried by an unseen current toward a new understanding of myself.

At first, everything seemed to turn upside down and inside out. Then slowly, fragments of memory began to gather into pattern. Experiences once held as confusion, sensitivity, or contradiction started to reveal a deeper coherence. What had long felt scattered was not scattered at all—only differently organized.

For many people, neurodivergence is still imagined through a narrow framework. But there are countless ways of perceiving, sensing, relating, and moving through the world. This work emerges from the experience of receiving a late diagnosis of autism and looking back across a lifetime through that new lens. I am not a different person than before, the thread was always there. I am simply beginning to see the pattern more clearly—woven through memory, body, and time.

These sculptures are not about brokenness or repair. They are about recognition. About understanding the body and mind as carrying their own internal architecture, rhythms, and logic. Handmade paper, thread, photographic fragments, and layered surfaces become metaphors for memory, perception, and the quiet work of holding oneself together.
