Artist Statement: My artwork is rooted in process and material exploration. The tactile, meditative nature of collage-making—cutting, layering, and rearranging elements—allows me to enter a flow state where intuition leads the way. This process offers a release, transforming anxiety into something visually calm and composed. As a child, I would build and tear down Lego houses or repeat puzzles, using these repetitive actions to understand control, loss, and change. These early inclinations continue to shape my creative practice today, where each collage is a journey driven by impulse and emotion rather than a pre-determined outcome. I work with a diverse range of materials, including synthetic paper, acrylic paint, inks, and gel mediums. Bold, vibrant colors dominate my compositions, acting both as an emotional outlet and as a means to convey energy, rhythm, and tension. The stark contrast between vibrant hues, softer tones, and pure white creates a dynamic interplay that mirrors the complexity of emotional landscapes. These contrasts are not merely visual decisions but symbolic representations of the balance I seek in my life: finding moments of calm within chaos, and order within disruption. Ultimately, my collages are more than just visual compositions; they are personal introspections. Through the act of creation, I navigate the complexities of emotion and experience, transforming internal turbulence into a harmonious visual language. I offer both myself and the viewer a space to pause, reflect, and find stillness.
