Behind the Work
I create during periods where I become deeply aware of how much people hide while still appearing present to the world.
My work is about emotional concealment, urban loneliness, and the quiet relationship between visibility and disappearance. Through photography, painting, and sculpture, I build a visual language for unspoken emotional states. The moments where people are still present, but parts of them have quietly disappeared behind silence.
I do not shout for attention. I let shadows, torn paper, and closed eyes carry the weight.
I do not perform heritage. I carry my own invisible weight and turn it into something others can finally see.
What makes this personal for me is the realization that many people move through life unseen, even when constantly surrounded by others. We learn to hide pain gracefully. We learn to remain functional while emotionally exhausted. We learn how to silence ourselves in order to survive.
Through my work, I want to create space for those unspoken emotional states. Not to fix them. Not to explain them. Just to let them be seen.
