I have always searched for a way to transform my excitement, fascination, curiosity, and shifting interests into a form I can actively respond with. Photography offers me this through the documentary image—an encounter with reality that allows me to observe, frame, and engage with the world as it unfolds. Painting, however, gives me a different kind of freedom. Through the abstraction of color and form, I can move beyond what is seen and into what is felt.

Both mediums become channels for the same impulse: to translate inner energy into something tangible. Whether through the clarity of a captured moment or the intensity of layered pigment, my work is driven by the desire to turn experience into expression.
