Artist Statement:

My work traces a year of emotional highs and lows through the visual language of shape and repetition. Intertwining motifs of pain and healing reflect the complexities of lived experience—where sharp angles suggest disappointment, and soft curves embody moments of joy. Repetition serves as both structure and metaphor, echoing the cyclical nature of emotion and the ongoing balance between struggle and renewal. Each piece invites reflection, encouraging viewers to consider their own journeys and to find resonance in the shared human experience of resilience.
