Artist’s Statement:

My work explores the lingering presence of history within contemporary spaces, tracing the silent dialogue between past and present. By reimagining traditional narratives within shifting environments, I examine how memory, identity, and human connection endure beyond their original time. Each composition reflects the coexistence of absence and presence, inviting viewers to engage with the echoes of those who once inhabited these spaces. Through these layered encounters, I seek to blur the boundaries between what was and what remains, urging contemplation.
