aboutfine artist & designerfine artist & ui/ux designer  I am a walking contradiction of a realist raised on symbolism and trained in iconographic analysis, so sometimes I’d prefer to think that perhaps there is no meaning. Perhaps there is no need for one.

My approach to art-making isn’t necessarily about centering a body of work around fixed themes; rather, I view my practice as a catalyst that powers my endless pursuit of self-understanding. The process of creating art reveals diverse influences that shape the continual evolution of my identities, and above all else, it serves as a conduit for reflection and introspective learning.
