"What If...It Was You" is a series of various sculptures that tries to show the human condition, including trauma, vulnerability, and yearning. The work invites viewers to place themselves within each piece, encouraging reflection. Through this series, the sculptures create a sense of familiarity and discomfort, blurring the line between the personal and the shared. The series asks the audience to consider how one person can hold the emotional weight of resilience, connection and survival.

"Becoming Soil" is a series of paintings, drawings, and sculptures that reflect on the decay of systems and their quiet transformation into new life. Through reverberations and echoes of what once lived, these works consider how matter persists, carrying memory forward. These lives continue to speak through us. This body of work engages with the reclaiming of systems both ecological and human-made. The series also examines contemporary perceptions of mortality as a part of an ongoing cycle. Nothing is ever truly lost - it is altered, absorbed, and returned.

This series of digital paintings is about the importance of working through hardships and that overcoming them may not happen the way you might think it will. Life isn't fair, but that doesn't mean you should give up on what you hold dear. Even a single candle provides more warmth than nothing.

Bobo Sock Monké is a series of 2D design and ceramics that combine silly and quirky sock monkés with functional, sculptural and tangible products inspired by Aaliah's childhood memories. Take a seat at the dinner table and surround yourself with love, connection and light-hearted fun as the sock monkés explore these themes through clay and illustration.
