My practice is anchored in an ongoing investigation of identity, memory, and presence. I am compelled by the tension between who I once was and who I am continually becoming, situating my work within the liminal space between past and present. My mind often wanders to the moments and spaces that have offered me compassion and acceptance within my solitude. In these reflections, I find myself drawn to subtle glimmers of hope, pauses for stillness, the quiet weight of shadows, and the tender act of embracing the present.

Thick, textured applications of oil paint allow me to give form to memory and emotion, while also reflecting the density and complexity of lived experience. My work examines the intersections of self-reflection, interpersonal relationships, and the complexities of loneliness. Painting from a subjective perspective enables me to engage with vulnerability as both subject and method, transforming personal narratives into spaces of shared resonance. Through this process, my practice cultivates empathy and fosters connection, situating painting as a relational act rather than a purely solitary endeavor.

My paintings explore memory not as a static archive but as an active dialogue between who we were, who we are, and who we continue to become— Opening pathways to compassion, self-understanding, and collective dialogue.
