Artist Statement:

“After” is an image of finality without closure. A woman lies in an anonymous corridor, dressed for a ceremony that never came. The light catches the water pooling beneath her, reflecting not her image but her absence. This piece confronts the viewer with the body as witness—silent, dressed, displayed. It asks nothing. It waits.

Artist Statement:

“Frame of Becoming” interrogates the boundary between representation and presence. A figure escapes the limits of her own portrait—not to flee, but to feel. Her hand, reaching toward her face, is both real and rendered, internal and external. This piece explores how identity is shaped by the frames we inhabit—and what happens when we dare to reach beyond them.

Artist Statement:

Exhale (While the Ceiling Melts) is a meditation on exposure and alchemy. The figure both mannequin and muse—rests at the edge of a portal, straddling the line between real and reflected self. The foil forms erupting from the frame suggest a disobedient memory, an emotion made physical, breaking containment. Her upward gaze is not passive; it is ancestral an invocation, a stillness that commands.

This work is about surviving one's own internal detonation. A room that doesn’t hold your history but instead absorbs and reflects it, corrupted by beauty and burn.
