PAINTING

My work explores the tension between emotion and structure—an attempt to unify instinct and intellect within the language of abstraction. Each painting becomes a space where heart and mind operate simultaneously, not in opposition but in dialogue.
I’m drawn to a push and pull between urban and natural energies: the density, rhythm, and friction of constructed environments set against the organic, unpredictable forces of nature. Beneath the surface, there is often a more unsettling current—an undercurrent of unease that resists purely decorative or easy visual consumption.
Rather than beginning with a fixed plan, I work responsively. Shapes and marks emerge through the act of painting itself, and I react to them in real time—editing, adjusting, and reinterpreting as the surface evolves. The process becomes a kind of feedback loop, where intuition and action continuously inform one another. In this sense, the painting and I function as joint creators.
I aim to arrive at a balance between control and spontaneity, resisting the urge to let learned habits or overworking dominate the outcome. The work is both intuitive and deliberate—a distillation of thought, feeling, and process into a visual form that remains open, dynamic, and unresolved.



COLLAGE SERIES

This series emerged from a collage process involving the cutting and reassembling of illustrations sourced from classic children’s storybooks. After reconstructing these images, I draw into the compositions, further integrating and unifying the fragmented elements.
These well-known stories are deeply ingrained in our cultural landscape, often serving as instruments of social and gender conditioning. Through the act of reconstruction, the work begins to disrupt these original narratives, opening space for new interpretations and voices, and ultimately softening or subverting their intended messages.



IMAGE TRANSFER SERIES

This series brings together the seemingly innocent image of the home with the traditionally domestic act of sewing. Associated with care, nurturing, and femininity, the sewing process is deliberately subverted to produce an image that feels ominous and unsettling. By placing this sense of menace alongside the comforting, familiar symbol of the house, the work creates a tension that shifts between the playful and the sinister.
