| I am an illustrator exploring the relationship between emotion, memory, and identity through portraits that exist between reality and imagination. My practice uses the human face, symbolic color, and simplified forms as a visual language to express inner emotional landscapes that cannot be fully articulated through words. Through my work, I investigate the traces of feelings that continue to linger within us. | |
Identity
Identity is shaped not only by what we choose to reveal, but also by the emotions we continue to carry beneath the surface.
Presence
To be present is not always to be fully here. The body remains, while the mind quietly wanders through emotional landscapes.
Trace
Emotions rarely disappear without leaving marks. Every trace becomes part of the body's silent memory.
Absence
Absence is not emptiness. It is the invisible space where memories continue to exist without physical presence.
Vulnerability
Beneath every attempt to remain strong lies a quiet vulnerability waiting to be acknowledged.
Silence
Silence is not the absence of sound, but the place where emotions speak without language.
Echo
Emotions often return as echoes, repeating themselves through memory, gesture, and the body.
Body
The body remembers what the mind cannot always explain. It quietly preserves the emotional history we carry through life.
