I explore Buddhist philosophy, emphasizing the interdependence and ever-changing nature of all phenomena. I weave delicate materials, such as human hair, horsehair, and other natural fibers into sculptures, symbolizing the interconnected fabric of existence. They evoke a sense of fragility, inviting viewers to reflect upon the transient nature of life. In my 2D work, I create compositions featuring sacred geometric shapes, incorporating repeated hairlines embedded within an acrylic medium. Through layered compositions, I cultivate an awareness of oneness and interdependence.
