Artist Statement

My creative process is driven by a profound engagement with personal memories, feelings, and information. My work captures these elements through a diverse range of expressions, from abstract and realistic imagery to fictional and imaginative portrayals. Each piece reflects my journey of tracing memories and emotions, seeking to uncover my own identity through art.

My work begins with a deep engagement with personal memories, captured through photographs and objects. These elements serve as the foundation for my drawings and illustrations, translating past experiences into evocative visual narratives. This approach allows me to explore the intersection of memory and emotion, resulting in both abstract and realistic imagery.
