My work explores the ambiguity of human connection through actions that reflect the tension between breaking and mending. I use thread, fiber and materials in my paintings to visualize emotional entanglement, resilience, and the search for belonging. Scene-like and unresolved, my pieces dwell in gray areas, inviting reflection, and memory.
