This piece is part of a series called 'Let Go.'
It was late at night after a long day of work. Tired but needing to create something for myself, free from contracts or cameras, I embarked on a simple experiment with no serious expectations. Embracing a meditative state, I used peculiar cutouts, trimmings, and negative space, allowing my mind to rest as I watched something unfold. This process stirred a visceral delight in me, as I laughed in surprise and awe at the unexpected arrangements. Trusting the process, I found that accepting the outcomes led to resolutions, even if they weren't perfect. That night, I knew I had discovered something profound and special.

Using a diverse array of collage materials, I enlist gravity's help to compose this series. After selecting my collage materials, I relinquish control and let them fall where they may—literally. In doing so, I suspend my thoughts and conditioned habits, resulting in outcomes more interesting than I could have imagined. Once the procedure is complete, I reclaim the power of assigning meaning, as we humans often do.
Much like life's journey, this series portrays a cycle of choice, chance, acceptance, and interpretation. I encourage viewers to spend time with the work, asking themselves: What could it be? What could it mean to me?
