My work begins with fragmented consciousness — the sense that we live through pieces of memory, instinct, desire, and forgetting, each quietly shaping how we move through the world. I paint within this fracture, allowing the canvas to become a place where the mind's scattered passages can gather, collide, or dissolve.
Layers appear and disappear as they do in the psyche. Some fragments rise to the surface; others sink or are erased to make room for what comes next. Each gesture becomes a small negotiation with the past — deciding what to keep, what to transform, and what must be released in order to move forward.
Painting becomes a form of creative resilience, guided by psychic triage — the quiet sorting of what the mind can carry forward and what it must release. Only then can consciousness step beyond the weight of remorse, regret, and the shadow of what might have been.
I'm drawn to the quiet tension between holding and releasing, between the impulse to revisit and the necessity of moving on. The work does not attempt to resolve these forces; it simply inhabits them, giving form to the way consciousness expands, contracts, conceals, and reveals.
What remains on the canvas is not a conclusion but a trace — a brief moment where the fractured becomes, if only for an instant, whole.
