Statement :
Haiiileen’s artistic practice is centered around the exploration of light, color, and sound as conveyed through various mediums such as sculpture, installation, design, and performance art. As a synesthete, her unique perception of the world allows her to create immersive and thought-provoking sensory experiences that engage with the viewer on a deep, emotional level.
Her art is inspired by a lifelong fascination with the interplay between light, color, and refraction, which she uses to create transformative, chromatic environments that uplift the spirit and invite introspection. In her most recent work, she has utilized mirrors and her own proprietary method of staining glass to bathe the viewer and their surroundings in hyper-colorful reflections.
Haiiileen’s goal is to create works of art that not only illuminate, but also nurture the soul of the viewer, empowering them to tap into their own inner rainbow of chromatic energy. Through her practice, she seeks to challenge conventional ideas of reality and offer new perspectives on our sensory experiences and the world around us.
