Artist's Statement
My art is an evolving journey—a process through which I explore my inner self and make sense of the past in order to move forward. Each piece I create marks a point of transition, where personal growth and creative expression intersect. In these moments, awareness rises to the surface, revealing insights that might otherwise remain hidden. A recurring element in my work is the presence of a window or doorway. These openings introduce depth, perspective, and the suggestion of the infinite. They symbolize possibility. I like to say, “If there is an opening to an unknown destination, then your dreams are never-ending… and the sequel has begun!”
