Artist Statement;

My practice moves between painting, installation, and performance — between control and release, thought and the lack of it. I often begin with the body: how movement, gravity, and hesitation leave traces before the mind interferes.

Painting, to me, is not a plan but an occurrence — something that happens faster than language can describe. I set the process in motion and step back; if control ever existed, it dissolves. The absence of thought becomes the condition for something real to appear.

What interests me is not representation, but presence — how a surface or a room can become a site of transformation. The work begins before thought, but it leads toward understanding; it reveals something that cannot be planned, only experienced.
