STATEMENT
I draw inspiration from my surroundings to challenge norms through art. Focusing on traditions, gender equality, and feminism, I use green hues to symbolize growth. Real-life incidents fuel my creations, amplifying voices, especially women’s, against cultural biases. My art fights misogyny, celebrating women’s strength within a society breaking free from constraints.
