Tami's work conceptualizes her experience with mental health and sociopolitical movements such as feminism and decolonization. The themes she tends to work with the most are catharsis, emotion, and trauma. Tami’s art-making process consists of using journal entries, poems she has written, song lyrics, or fragments from her conversations to visualize a narrative that she can later manifest as artwork. Tami often uses poetic language to create compositions that balance on the edge of recognition and imagination. She also plays with elements such as symbolism, and metaphors to maintain her art's private and personal nature while still being able to create and express herself without boundaries. Tami creates work that appears distorted, allowing it to maintain its sacred and healing purpose without revealing too much.
