I’m drawn to multidisciplinary work—painting, sculpture, and design—where material and form carry emotion. I like building pieces that exist between abstraction and narrative, where texture, gesture, and space invite personal interpretation. My favorite work is immersive, something you don’t just look at, but feel and move through.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in human experience ,identity, memory, displacement and connection. Growing up between cultures shaped how I see the world, so I’m constantly observing contrasts: tradition and modernity, silence and expression. I’m also inspired by everyday moments, music, and the emotional weight people carry but rarely articulate.
What would you do with $25,000?would invest in expanding my practice—securing a dedicated studio, upgrading materials, and developing a new body of work at a larger scale. I’d also allocate part of it to document and exhibit the work, creating opportunities for wider reach. Ultimately, I’d use it to deepen my artistic language and build something impactful and lasting.
