As a self-taught paper artist and engineer, my work pushes the boundaries of communication, exploring how we connect beyond words. Through intricate quilling and 3D geometric designs, I seek to spark wonder and foster deeper connections. My artistic journey is a fusion of creativity and precision, where each piece becomes a meditation, allowing me to enter a state of flow and self-actualization.
Light is a central theme in my work. It guides us, bringing color to our world, and shaping our experiences and memories. I am fascinated by the way light interacts with surfaces, creating textures and vibrant colors that evoke emotion and reflection. My work reflects this dynamic interplay, as I craft each piece with meticulous attention to detail, folding, shaping, and coloring paper in a way that captures light's essence.
Through my art, I invite others to experience the serenity and boundless possibilities that light offers, as well as the unity that arises from the act of creation.
