Artist Statement:

Art has always been my bridge—first to myself, then to the world around me. My most recent body of work is a manifestation of my deep desire for love and meaningful relationships. Through this collection, I explore and visualize my longing for deeper bonds with my friends and partner, allowing my work to actualize the connections I seek.

Each piece is an invitation—both for myself and the viewer—to cultivate love, cherish relationships, and recognize the profound beauty in human connection. I believe that art has the power to not only reflect our innermost aspirations but to bring them to life. It is my hope that my work resonates with others, inspiring them to pursue, nurture, and treasure the significant relationships in their own lives.

Art has been an intrinsic part of me since childhood. I began by replicating the artwork around my home, drawing inspiration from books gifted by my mother. Over the years, this early fascination evolved into a practice deeply intertwined with my personal journey—one that continues to shape my understanding of love, connection, and the art of being human.
