The act of surrender is a guiding force in my work; faith in the process takes precedence over the need for control or perfection. In earlier years, I was deeply constrained by expectation, validation, and control, forces that stunted my creativity and turned the act of creation into one of pressure and self-criticism.

It was during a period of significant personal transformation, a shift in narratives and beliefs, that I returned to the canvas with a different approach: no plan, no draft, no sketch. I simply began to paint. What emerged was a sense of curiosity, a dialogue rather than a script. I found myself asking, what if I do this? what if I turn that? From this exchange, creativity began to pour outward.

My work develops through an almost performative process. I drip watered-down oils onto the canvas, rotating it, allowing the paint to settle, to dry, and then disrupting it again. From this, a web of forms begins to emerge, something like a fractal constellation. I continue this process until an image is called forth: a hand, a face, a fragment that asks to be seen and given structure.

These forms are often only partially realized, dissolving into the grid-like patterns generated by the process itself. Space becomes ambiguous, contorted, without a clear sense of interior or exterior. The figures exist in flux, fragmented and distorted within organic abstraction.

Ultimately, my work unfolds as an encounter with the self, reflecting a worldview in which the self mirrors the world, and the world mirrors the self. The boundary between inner and outer begins to dissolve; there is no fixed division between inside and outside, self and other, individual and environment. Instead, there exists a continuous exchange, an encounter in which each informs and reshapes the other. Within this space, identity is not static but relational, emerging through interaction, perception, and process. The figures and forms that arise in my work echo this condition, suspended between presence and dissolution, as both subject and surrounding, observer and observed.
