Statement
I explore the relationship between destruction and renewal, examining how memory, time, and transformation intersect in both human and natural cycles. Through my use of mixed media techniques, I create dialogues between decay and growth, suggesting that beauty emerges not despite fragmentation but because of it. I engage deeply with impermanence, using motifs of spirals, organic forms, and weathered surfaces to meditate on how consciousness and time operate across different scales - from the cosmic to the intimate. I often focus on liminal spaces, capturing those uncertain boundaries where one state dissolves into another. My aesthetic reflects my belief that destruction is not an ending but a necessary precursor to new forms of life and understanding, where resilience emerges through the process of falling apart.
