uhma janus is a native of León, Guanajuato, México. Her work deals with the representation of the essence of reality by visualizing its elements as independent and in the dynamic interstitial space that is enlivened through their connection. Such representations are imbued with her interests in the fundamental, in the dynamism of complex systems, and in the disciplines of Geometry, Physics, and Microbiology.
uhma resides in Louisville, Kentucky. She can be found in her studio, writing at a coffee shop, exploring the urban air of Louisville during her walks, in mechanical, dance-like trances when rhythmic music compels her, and, overall, just being human.
