STATEMENT

My work begins with a single point—a thought, a feeling, a breath—and unfolds as a continuous line across the page. I do not plan what I will draw; instead, I surrender to the process, allowing intuition to lead. Each piece becomes a visual stream of consciousness, revealing how our minds twist, loop, and layer experiences in ways that are both chaotic and beautifully coherent.

The line is my language. It carries emotion, memory, and the unseen—shaped not by perfection, but by presence. I’m interested in what emerges when we stop trying to control the outcome and simply allow. Through this practice, I explore how we are all connected—by invisible threads, by shared complexities, and by the quiet need to be understood.

My art is not about answers. It’s about feeling your way through, finding beauty in the tangle, and remembering that every line—like every person—has a story worth following.
