My current series Unbecoming explores transformation as a process of unbecoming - shedding imposed identities, conditioned beliefs, and inherited narratives to reveal an original self. The organic, fluid forms blossom, sprout, crack, dissolve, shed and regenerate in an endless cycle of becoming and unbecoming. I seek out shapes that feel familiar at first glance, but the longer you look, the more uncertain you become of what you’re seeing, much like how we think we know ourselves until we realize how much remains to be learned.

​

Rooted in both psychological and environmental themes, my paintings blur the boundary between inner and outer worlds, further exploring the Hermetic maxim, “As above, so below; as within, so without; as the universe, so the soul,” which suggests that spiritual, mental, and physical realms are interconnected, with internal states or higher forces influencing external reality and vice versa.

​

For me, this work is about transcending boundaries and recognizing the deep interconnectedness that unites us-something our increasingly divided world is longing to remember.
