Artist statement: My art primarily revolves around the concept of the "other," both internal and external. Delving into the complexities of the self, I unravel the threads of identity, exposing the intricacies with the internal other—the fragments of emotion and unexplored thoughts that shape individuality. Simultaneously, my work extends beyond introspection to explore the external other—the diverse tapestry of humanity and our relationship to each other.
Specific medium: Mixed Media on 154lb paper
