Artists Statement: In an era defined by acceleration and distraction, my work calls for stillness and interior listening. The language of color acts as a psychological and spiritual agent—a vessel for memory, emotion, and transformation. Guided by intuition and mark-making, I create layered surfaces that resonate with both history and luminosity. Symbolism plays a pivotal role—ladders, doors, and passages serve as metaphors for transformation. Lines are obscured, broken, and reconnected to mirror the paths shaped by both intention and chance. 
These suspended spaces reflect both our inner states and the larger patterns of the world around us, suggesting that what we seek beyond us is already within.
