My practice explores the quiet relationship between memory, identity, and lived experience. I am drawn to ordinary objects, fragments of paper, handwritten marks, and elements of domestic life, using them as symbols rather than simply depicting them as objects.

I work primarily through painting and mixed media, often combining realism with subtle conceptual disruptions. Paper holds a particular significance in my practice; its surface becomes a space where thoughts, memories, and unspoken experiences can exist. At times, I create writing that is deliberately fragmented or without literal meaning, allowing the act of writing itself to become a visual trace of emotion.

My work considers how personal experiences become embedded within familiar objects and spaces. I am interested in the tension between what is visible and what remains unsaid—the silence surrounding memory, uncertainty, identity, and the expectations placed upon the individual.

Through restrained compositions, symbolic objects, and material contrasts, I transform fragments of everyday life into contemplative spaces. Rather than offering fixed narratives, I invite the viewer to find their own associations within these quiet, psychologically charged moments.
