My contemporary work extends my observation to my imagination into constructed realities, where the emotional undercurrent becomes more explicit. Through wearable masks, digital interventions, and the use of both public spaces and natural environments, I explore states of emotional stagnation, stuckness and quiet melancholy. The grotesque language emerges as an extent of these.
A Memory in A Dream
This body of work emerges from the liminal space between reality and dreams. The series (2023—ongoing) navigates the shifting terrain of memory, imagination, and the subconscious. Masks appear as recurring symbols, embodying the unseen psychological forces that inhabit daily life. Moving between reality and fiction, the work reflects a journey that is simultaneously an act of escape and self-confrontation—a search for what is continuously transformed in the subconciness world without we even noticing.
A Dream
Internia
The figure lies covered with moss, gradually becoming covered in moss through stillness and the absence of movement. Inertia refers to the tendency to maintain a state of rest or continue along an existing behavioral path, unable to respond to external or internal forces of change. This photograph was taken in a bog, where bodies are gradually absorbed into the earth as long as there is no movement.

A study of emotional excess and stuckness.
Anxiety Attack
You Seem So Happy , Self-Portraiture
A study of emotional excess and stuckness.
Through self-portraiture, I translate a past experience of panic into visual form. During a panic attack, escape felt possible only through dissociation from my body. This experience created a sense of being trapped within it, leading me to use extreme close-ups and self-focused imagery.

This Earth Remembers Me
Separated from nature by time and modernity, a figure returns to the wild — wearing a mask to pretend she belongs, in a place where memory, breath, and being still remain. Not knowing where she comes from, but knowing where she belongs.
