ARTIST STATEMENT
As a multidisciplinary artist, I explore the complexities of fear and anxiety and the courage required to overcome them. Through various physical mediums such as painting, sculpture, installations, and textiles, I aim to transform these intangible emotions into tangible objects. Anxiety and courage are like two sides of the same coin, and my work reflects this duality. The fear of nothingness, the anxiety of fate and death, and the threat of emptiness and meaninglessness all find expression in my art as I seek to create a synthesis between the opposites. My art captures the essence of our current era of open anxiety, where we are constantly facing the unknown and navigating uncharted territories. In this century of open anxiety, we must navigate through the obscurity of the unknown, traversing uncharted territories with courage and bravery, where there are no maps or guidebooks to light our way. Through this process, we take a leap into the future, facing the challenges that lie ahead with boldness and resilience. The thought of our own mortality can be paralyzing, but by confronting this fear, we can find the courage to take risks, push boundaries, and reveal the hidden depths of the human soul. My work embodies this journey towards overcoming fear and discovering the inner strength to face the unknown.
