I am interested in exploring
the intersection between faith and love, as well as the ways in which we are shaped by our own emotions and desires. Art is way for me to explore these feelings and to show how we can find beauty in what we don’t understand.
Through my work, I aim to bring something meaningful and thoughtful to the conversation around minor obsessions and to help people connect with their own inner dialogue.
By exploring the motivations behind my obsessions, I attempt to create artwork that is captivating and inspiring.
My objective is to create a form of visual beauty that is humble, accessible and invites the viewers to explore the depths of identity while finding beauty in their own inner journey.
