Personal Statement
As a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, painting, and installation.
I strive to create works that transcend the boundaries of the visible world. My art is a narrative—a story of my own experiences intertwined with the lives of others. Each piece invites viewers to embark on a journey that explores both the tangible and intangible. I aim to reveal the layers of memory, identity, and emotion through form, color, and texture. I want my work to inspire contemplation, spark curiosity, and evoke a connection to something deeper beyond what is visible to the eyes.
