ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My work explores the fragile space between presence and absence. Through a combination of painting, drawing, and digital interventions, I create images that feel suspended, as if they are carried rather than fixed.
I am interested in minimal compositions where small elements hold emotional weight. The works often begin from personal imagery and transform into quiet signals of memory, connection, and inner experience.
