ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I explore how inner thoughts become images.
Thoughts can form, twist, and transform into pictures, while images can evoke new thoughts and feelings.
I’m interested in how thought and image feed each other; one shaping the other in a continuous delicate loop.
Distortion matters in my work.
Thoughts are filtered by biases, experiences, and influences before they become images, creating unique, subjective realities. I aim to show this complexity and the many ways thought becomes image.
