“The Study of Sharp Things” is an intimate portrait of vulnerability through the language of contrast flesh against edge, stillness against danger, illumination against shadow. The figure sits in a gesture of quiet collapse, not defeated but in deep observation. The shard in her hand is not just a threat it is a mirror, a question, a relic. I was drawn to create this piece as a study in how we hold our own pain—how we examine it, cradle it, sometimes even find beauty in it. The muted tones and decayed setting are deliberate; they frame the human moment not as a cry for help, but as an act of radical awareness. This work is about interior stillness, and what we choose to hold onto when everything else has already fallen away.

“Stillborn Gesture” explores a suspended state of becoming a body both reaching and recoiling in an environment stripped of language and time. The figure exists in a moment between emergence and erasure, contorted against concrete as if seeking escape from its own dimensional limits. There is no doorway, no ceiling, only a room of edges and a body dislocated from gravity, purpose, or identity. This work investigates themes of confinement not through violence but through abstraction how the human form can express anxiety and transcendence through gesture alone. I am drawn to this threshold of visibility, where shadow eats intention and flesh becomes idea. “Stillborn Gesture” is not about death or birth—it’s about interruption, and what it means to inhabit the pause.

Artist Statement:

“Veil No. 2” is part of a visual meditation on memory and touch. The blindfold suggests concealment, but also comfort—an imposed silence that’s been accepted, maybe even invited. The hand lingers at the threshold between action and stillness, between self-erasure and self-soothing. The piece is about what we choose to unsee, and what we cradle in the dark.

"The Absence Room"

This piece explores the moment light returns to spaces no longer waiting for it. The chair becomes a placeholder for absence — a ghost not of people, but of relevance. The room is not abandoned; it is done with us. The only actor is the light, cutting in with precision, interrogating what remains.

Artist Statement:

“Threshold” captures a suspended decision—the instant before crossing into the unknown. A lone figure stands before an ornate golden doorway, its mirrored surface reflecting nothing but his posture. There is no indication of what lies beyond, only the echo of his presence. This is not about what happens next—it is about the weight of choosing to find out.

Artist Statement:

“After the Body Leaves”

A blanket, a shape, a void. This room remembers something that the viewer never saw. The light doesn’t warm — it isolates. “After the Body Leaves” is about traces: how absence stains space, and how objects — even empty ones — can haunt without explanation. It is not about grief. It is about what follows grief, in silence.
