I have always been drawn to art, first for its beauty and later for what it can reveal about who we are. A brushstroke, a color, a composition can carry meaning—or simply exist. In my paintings, drawings, and sculptures, I explore humanity and my own sense of aesthetics, often lingering on light, contrast, and extreme detail. Acrylic and charcoal allow me to shape form and feeling with precision, giving me control over the depth and subtleties that bring a piece to life, much as we seek to shape and understand our own experiences. This same impulse to find order, beauty, and reflection carried over into how I experienced the world—how I sought anchors when everything around me felt uncertain.

Moving across high schools in different countries, states, and cities, I often felt like someone with nowhere to belong. Yet even in that unmoored existence, I found constants: my curiosity, the music I love, and the stars that appear in the darkest nights. Between the Stars carries this sense of being unanchored, holding uncertainty, weight, and unanswered questions, reflecting an inner universe—expansive, heavy, deeply personal—and the quiet endurance of continuing to exist, to feel, and to remain present beneath the vastness both around and within me, much like art itself holds meaning in its presence and its silence.
