In the Artist’s Words:

Life often reveals itself through a haze, its shape defined by people, time, and place. Stories can be told, but their meaning is not always clear; it eludes us, slipping through the grasp of reason. We wander, bewildered, searching for signs, for something to orient us amidst the chaos.

In my art, primary motive is not to create something from nothing; I am seeking. I search for metaphors and gestures that speak of meaning, pointing toward something of value to my own quest. The images are not merely constructed but emerge from within, drawn from what intuitively draws me. I know when these metaphors speak to me, when they hold significance. In those moments, I seize them, not to possess them, but to make them visible—to bring them into a world where meaning is our most essential pursuit.
