Artist Statement
I am a Mongolian American multidisciplinary artist, cultural producer and healer working across the spectrums of visual art, performance, installation, media, film, metaverse, social practice and astrotheology. I was born in Mongolia and grew up in Hungary having immigrated to the United States with my family in 1999. My practice is shaped by lived experiences of migration, cultural hybridity and spiritual inheritance. These movements across geographies and belief systems inform an ongoing inquiry into identity, empowerment, memory, home and belonging.
My work emerges from a liminal position between Eastern and Western cosmologies, ancestral knowledge and contemporary life. I investigate how marginal identities navigate displacement while generating meaning. Drawing from intuitive and research based methodologies, I approach artmaking as an experimental process grounded in conceptual rigor and embodied ways of knowing. I understand art as a transformative healing force. Through visual language, esoteric knowledge and immersive environments, I seek to examine how perception shapes reality and how inner transformation can catalyze individual thereby collective change. My work challenges narratives of separation, scarcity, and alienation, proposing frameworks rooted in interconnectedness and care.
Using transdisciplinary forms including installation, performance, video, animation, writing, web3 and AI, I create multisensory works that function as experiential portals that invite heightened awareness and active engagement with heritage, placemaking, longing and the evolving meaning of home. My practice is informed by esoteric philosophy, Buddhism, Shamanism, ancestral cosmology, metaphysics, astrology, mythology, futurism, and quantum science which I treat as cultural archives and speculative tools. I use these frameworks to examine consciousness identity ritual and collective imagination within social structures bridging contemporary art discourse with expanded models of spirituality and healing.
My art engages belief systems shaped by colonialism, capitalism, and lack, inviting a return to abundance, self worth, unity and collective healing. Through shifts in perception, I aim to restore sovereignty and affirm our interconnected nature.
All my creative outlets act as transparent extensions of my life and my perpetual curiosity, search to educate and empower through collective unity love consciousness, empathy, action and inspiration. Through my art practices, I seek to help us realize that we are whole and not lacking, that we and the seen and unseen worlds are all interconnected not separate. When we realize this, everything around us starts to respond, align, manifest and magnetize towards us.
