Research Interests

Jennifer’s work is a search for identity and belonging, a meditation on memory, symbols and familiar objects in unfamiliar contexts. Through her art, she flips through the pages of her personal “encyclopedia,” tracing threads that connect past and present, exploring how personal and collective histories intertwine. Each piece is an invitation to witness the quiet dialogue between memory, place and self, and to discover resonance in the spaces between what is known and what is reimagined.
