MessageCollection: Let Go
"Let Go" is a series of collages created through an intentional act of surrender. Using a diverse array of materials, I enlist gravity as my collaborator—dropping cut elements onto a surface and gluing them down exactly where they land. By relinquishing control, I suspend my thoughts and conditioned habits, allowing surprising compositions to emerge. This process yields arrangements that challenge my expectations, often leading to captivating material interactions that bring new depth and complexity to the work. Much like life itself, this series explores the cycle of choice, chance, acceptance, and interpretation. Each viewer brings their own perspective, assigning meaning in the same way I do when stepping back from the work. I invite audiences to spend time with these pieces, asking themselves: What could it be? What could it mean to me?
