My practice is rooted in an emotional investigation of memory, desire, and relational dynamics — how they shape and distort how we see ourselves and others. I approach painting as a space where fragmanted narratives can coexist: where color and form hold emotional weight, and the figure becomes a site of vulnerability, projection, and reflection. Each painting distills what it felt like to inhabit my body at a specific moment in time. Ultimately, my paintings are attempts to hold onto something ephemeral — a feeling, a touch, or a fleeting awareness of self.
