"My work begins with slowness — with looking, waiting, and allowing the image to form gradually. I'm drawn to the quiet edge of things: the way light hovers on a branch, how a shadow moves across a face, or how a single gesture can hold a sense of myth or memory. These moments are often subtle, almost invisible at first, but they stay with me until I find a way to bring them into form. Process is not separate from meaning in my practice — it is how I come to understand what I'm seeing."
