Artist Statement
My work examines the hidden dimensions of self-awareness—the forgotten spaces, suppressed memories, and unspoken secrets we carry within us. These are the aspects of ourselves often left unexplored, lingering in shadow, shaping us in ways we may not fully understand.
Using recurring symbols and motifs, I reveal fragments of my own personal narrative, illuminating the obscure, recondite corners of my experience. This process is both an act of discovery and a confrontation—a way to wrest meaning from what is concealed and bring clarity to what resists understanding.
I invite viewers to engage in a similar exploration, to pause and reflect on the parts of themselves that remain hidden or unresolved. In this shared moment of introspection, I hope to reveal a connection between the personal and the universal, reminding us that our experiences, however distinct, are bound by a shared humanity.
Ultimately, my work is an invitation to embrace ambiguity, confront the unknown, and find beauty in what is unfinished or uncomfortable.
