I’m a visual artist who lives creatively between dreams and waking life. I am fascinated with portraiture, but with a sense of abstraction that feels vaguely familiar yet still unknown. I am drawn to fleeting gestures, fragile moments, and longing in my work that can reveal something emotional and sacred. Through self-portraiture and quiet observation, I explore what it means to be a body in time: to carry memory, to be shaped by absence, and to move through a world that is constantly changing.
