ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My inspiration stems from the oral traditions of my ancestors, where stories were passed down during gatherings, and from the ancient art forms that depicted historical events and familial legacies. I am deeply influenced by the works of artists who have embraced storytelling through visual arts, merging past and present in a harmonious dance.
