Across all three bodies of my work, surface operates as a site of negotiation. Whether rendered with control or aggressively reworked, the paint records a process of testing, resisting, and recalibrating form. Rather than offering resolution, the work insists on ambiguity. Identity, connection, and emotions are shaped through the ongoing effort to remain present within conditions that are rarely secure.
