These works are deeply informed by my practice over the past decade, where I have used art as a tool for rehabilitation, reflection, and transformation.

This series is a year-long, performative project. Each week, I create a new composition in response to the previous one, allowing the work to evolve continuously over time. Every painting carries traces of what came before it—each iteration connected, yet shifting, expanding, and re-forming.

I am drawn to abstraction and the disruption of surfaces as a way of working. Using layered materials—pastes, glazes, sgraffito, and tools that both build and remove—I move the paint, scrape it back, and reveal what lies beneath. The process is as much about erasure as it is about creation.

What continues to emerge in the work is a sense of vulnerability and honesty—tension, disruption, fragility, and moments of chaos. These qualities began to mirror something deeper for me: the human experience itself. We all move through periods of emotional rupture and change.

Throughout the process, I deliberately retain foundational marks—echoing the way life leaves its imprint on us. These traces become part of the work’s history, much like the experiences we carry. The paintings speak to transformation: how we move through disruption, and how something new begins to take shape.

We are never quite the same after these moments. A shift occurs—a quiet rebuilding—where identity is reformed, shaped by both what has been and what is emerging.
