My work explores the fragility of time and memory, how moments fracture and echo long after they pass. I'm drawn to that delicate balance between the fleeting and the enduring, seeking to capture what remains when experience transforms into recollection.
Through painting, I abstract current events, allowing contemporary moments to blur and dissolve into something more universal. My drawings take a different approach, suggesting stillness and quiet reflection. Both disciplines draw on compositional rules and formal structures from art history, creating a dialogue between the transitory present and timeless artistic traditions.
My installation and object-based work, pivot toward the conceptual. Here, I deploy symbolism to explore themes of impermanence and restoration, offering contemplative spaces where viewers can engage with questions of loss and renewal. These pieces invite a different kind of looking, one that moves beyond the visual into the realm of memory and meaning.
Across all mediums, my practice forges subtle acts of resistance grounded in memory, connection, and reflection. Each work becomes a trace, a way of holding onto what might otherwise slip away.
