Statement

I am drawn to what is visible and invisible—within me and around me—as I try to make sense of my existence, in the echo of a forgotten nostalgia. I oscillate between chaos and order in a constant search for equilibrium. Fragmented, I exist in the illusion of separation, where memories, emotions, and identities emerge as symbolic fragments of a larger, interconnected whole. Through this journey, I seek to touch what remains out of reach—an understanding that lies between what I know and what I have yet to remember.
